Oh, thank you so much! This looks quite like the old behavior, but it 
seems as if my guess was just wrong that it could not be adapted/used. 
Thanks! I'll try and give feedback.

Indeed, you are right. Thanks for that kind hint - i was thinking that 
my Thunderbird mailclient got some displaying error which made my post 
show up under the message of Steffen Gebert. Of course i did not want to 
mess up his post, so sorry for that. Won't happen again :-)

Just to explain: I thought that the title of the message is the only 
thing used to categorize a newspost entry. As my message showed up in 
the wrong place, i even checked the source/header of my reply-mail to 
see whether something else is sent which might categorize my post.
