Ah yes, I half-remembered that it wasn't always like that. Then I
remembered that XanaNews recently introduced an option to group threads
by subject if no reference header could be found, which actually is
kind of useful for relayed mailing lists like this one or the CVSGUI
one - with that one drawback obviously...

May I suggest including the actual version number in the subject line?
I think that would pretty much solve most of the concerns. Another
convention I've found used elsewhere which I find rather nice is
prefixing such posts with ANN: or [ANN] or something like that.

Cheers,
