I trust you know more about MX5s than you do about email protocol.
They are not email strings. In email groups they are called threads. THe only

I'm not sure he meant threads either. I suspect he meant just text.

Threads are started with an original (non-replied to) email, replies are
then sorted automatically and shown in a
tree view by capable email clients. Some email clients are so lame they
actually strip out the References: headers
in the email and break the thread view.

For instance, Colin, who uses Forte Agent 1.6/32.525, has his reply
underneath Ralph's, but Jeff Curtin, who uses
Hotmail (prime example of lame email client), has his reply out on it's
own, as if it was the start of a thread, not a
reply. like the subject (RE: Cam belt) would indicate.
reason why many post at the top is because Microsoft have so dictated in their
lame Email clients to do so thus moving away from the Email convention.

Html postings are also frowned upon in most email groups. Security wise it is
not wise to use html either.

Outlook* has a nasty habit of downloading external links embedded in
HTML. This can cause all sorts of issues, one of which is that
spam senders can automatically validate email address's simply by you
opening their (HTML) mail.

BTW, someone on ORCON has a nasty virus. I cannot correlate who, as
this mailing list strips out the "Received:" header before passing
the email to the list, but they are (port-219-88-136-63.orcon.net.nz
[219.88.136.63]). If this is you, you are annoying EVERYONE on this
list, FIX IT.

Looking back over previous emails on the subject of tyres, the Bridgestone G III appear to be a very suitable tyre choice. However, after speaking to Owen at Performance Tyres, he comments that whilst the GIII are a top of the range tyre, this fact also means that they suffer if they are not warmed up. (He offered Bridgestone GR50 S and S as an alternative). How much effect this will have on day to day running is only speculative.
I am not sure that it matters if my trip to work suffers by a few tenths of a second, but I would be interested in comments from those in the know about whether or not driving on colder G IIIs is really an issue.

Thank you
