1) Great.  So why didn't it *leave* your site with a reasonable header?  Why
isn't Mr. Mather's name in the "Path:" line?  And where is the subject line
for the discussion in that header - or is the lack of a subject line the
reason why it left with "Re: Orphaned Response?"

2) That header tells me nothing about the contents of the note in question -
there's no per-note subject line.  Admittedly, when a discussion drifts
subject lines aren't always changed, but it would be nice if they did change
more often - does "notes" understand the concept of a discussion not all of
whose notes have the same subject?
