    I just found a little bug in Oasis 1.35... When you post a reply to
the group, the subject line is not always the same as the article you want
to give an answer... It's the threads subject! And this one is not always
the same, because Oasis doesn't compare the entire string, but only the
first 16 or so characters to decide in wich thread to put an article...

    A little example: say you have two messages in a group, one with
subject "How can I do to insert a 8p disk in my Atari", the second with
subject "How can I do to inspect my files against viruses". If the x first
characters matches, Oasis will set these 2 articles in the same thread.
A little annoying, but not a big problem, no?

    But now read the second article (viruses), and try to reply... the
subject line of your answer will be "....insert a 8p disk in...."
