[Tutor] Question about the "main" Python help list

[Luke Paireepinart]

Next time you email tutor, start a new email msg instead of clearing out the contents of a reply to a different e-mail. When you do it like that it breaks threading, so all these emails are in the same thread as the "need help" one even though they aren't related to that e-mail.
