I think "thread" is just a convention, based on the Subject: of the
email, I'm not sure how it copes with the various Re: Sv: and so on,
perhaps there is a list of common ones, but sometimes the threading gets
messed up so you may have to hunt around. Just use "Reply to All" and
leave the Subject: intact, unless you're going off-topic.

I think I would go straight for 3) below, as Jeremiah says the i386 is
lacking cups and pulseaudio support.
