The Difference Between Clicking on the Thread Name and on the Little Envelope? Got spare money?

When clicking on the name of the top thread in this forum :
http://apolyton.net/forums/showthre...&threadid=93078

When clicking on the envelope near the thread name :
http://apolyton.net/forums/t93078-s.html

What's the difference? Is there any?

The HTML link is a hack meant for search engines.

Search engines aren't very fond of PHP and all sorts of other dynamic stuff. The HTML link simply redirects you to the "normal" thread page, but search engines will also be able to find it (and thus index it).

Well, that feature isn't four years old. I believe Markos added it somethime during the Settler I era. But I might be wron on the timeline, but it's not that old.

It sends you to the last post (it thinks) you saw in the thread. Threads that have no newer posts don't have the arrow either.

Why doesn't this direct you to the last post you've read? That would be much more usefull.
For a long time I thought this was how it worked.
