Abstract
A discussion thread is associated with a master recipients list that is maintained at an author's computer or a server computer. The recipients list is revised as participants in the discussion are added to and/or removed from the discussion. An author is notified when target recipients do not match the master recipients list. When a participant is added to the discussion from an old discussion instance, a thread manager provides for the added participant to receive a more current discussion instance.
