but that would require me to change my existing email rule and would deprive me of being able to  every time I see the rule and am reminded that there apparently used to be a separate email address for each server.

When would you like me to schedule the next address change? Or shall I just, you know, surprise you?

During vacation would probably be the most annoying. I'll probably (80%) be taking a long weekend Aug 4-9th. Does that work for you?

There always is "codeproject.com" in the from-URL, and "[CodeProject]" in the subject line. That should be sufficient to filter unambiguously.
And when it isn't, you could use one e-mail account for receiving all CP stuff, then forward from there.

After about a week I got it to work, the problem was that at my new company we have a whole bunch of infrastructure in London that zaps incoming spam way before it reaches my inbox in South Africa and the verification E-mail to forward to my work address was flagged as spam. Thank Gawd our spam system sends me an email once a week giving me the option to release some of these E-mails
Thanks for suggesting this Dan!

 aside: Why does a Beatles song run round in my head when I type that subject line?
When we get a long and branching thread like this

x.1 (only more so), it can be very difficult to figure out what 'indent level' message x.1 belongs to. Is there any kind of visual hint that could be thrown to us mere mortals who don't have an imbedded vertical straightedge? I'm open to debate about what form this might take, but first, let's see if there's any/enough interest in the idea.

I believe this has been mentioned / asked before and Chris is / was working on something but the page load could be the problem.
The idea is / was to draw vertical line's.

It gets worse when it flips over a page, I have to put my finger on the screen and hit previous to follow the thread.

Use the 'view thread' button then. Works if the thread isn't longer than 1 page if it is your solution is as good as any

Well it is a digital solution.

IIRC the limitation is legacy browsers that would need to have a swarm of small images used to draw the lines. Newer browsers could use HTML5 goodness, but that doesn't help the poor saps whose employers have locked them into IE6 hell.

prefixing a single digit (the nesting depth modulo 10) to every message icon would be inexpensive and go a long way.

Luc, I'm sorry but I think that's the worst suggestion you've made. It would add just noise.
faint dotted lines, a la treeview, is what is needed. The issue here is HTML bloat.
Once we cna use HTML5 then we could just draw the lines on a canvas.

Can you just do it now for all the good browsers, feed IE users the legacy version, and point and laugh anytime they complain?

Nope (not a web dev) but the version of FF I have passes all the canvas tests and AFAIK that's what would be needed to draw line art so I should be among the laughers not the laughees when it's implemented.

Another option that I have on my TODO is to provide a "parent" link that will take you back to the parent.

yep. I suggested that earlier.
FWIW: I did a little ASCII-arty treeview look here[^]; something I expect all browsers could handle. IMO HTML bloat is limited when compared to everything that is already there... Of course, the real stuff would be better, at least on browsers that can handle it.

That looks so 1990. Perfect for pointing and laughing at the IE types.
The only problem is that IIRC the indent levels get compressed on really deep threads to make it still fit on screen.

Exacly. Now let us have the real thing on our foxy browsers, as well as the iPad we all relish.

correct. There is some asymptotic behavior, it became necessary when some CPians were ganging together for the longest thread.
However, there's nothing ASCII can't solve; in fact it is an open invitation to some ellipses...
