I note your procedure.? But I need to move a handful of individual messages to another topic, not move all messages to another topic?? Can we do that??

Yes, it can be done.

To split one thread into two, see?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/How-to-Split-Threads?
To merge two threads into one, see?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/How-to-Merge-Threads?

Say you have six messages in thread A, and want to move messages 3-5 into thread B. The steps are as follows:

• Split thread A at message #6, giving it a new subject line (perhaps "temp").
• Split thread A at message #3, giving it another subject line (perhaps "temp2").
• Merge the "temp" thread back into thread A.
• Merge the "temp2" thread into thread B.
• Hope and pray that you are done.

As you can see, this is a tedious process, and is even more tedious if the messages to be moved are not contiguous.

Why are we "hoping and praying?" Because all these messages have already gone out to your subscribers as emails. If anybody replies to one that landed in his inbox with the "wrong" subject line, you're going to find yourself doing another split-and-mergefest. To avoid that, Shal has suggested putting both threads on moderation so you can edit the subject lines before they post to the archive. You don't have to put the whole group on moderation...just select "Moderate Topic" from the More menu. Locking them is also an option, of course.

Hope this helps,
Bruce
