Hi, We have recently had a discusion about threads. One of the major problems we GMail users have is the fact that GMail breaks the threads if the subject line is changed, which means that their "conversations" are just sorted by subject, not by references as it is in most mail clients. This can be OK for the day-by-day use, but it's realy an annoyance for mail-lists, like this one. I know that many of us has the same complain about GMail, but due to the other GMail features, still want to keep using GMail. However, this issue is not even on their "to-do list": http://www.google.com/gmail/help/whatsnew.html So, what can we do? The only action suitable for us is to ask GMail for a feature of following conversations by *reference* instead of subject. They have a page where we can ask for a feature or complain to what seems to be a bug: https://services.google.com/inquiry/gmail_bugs So what I ask here is that everyone that uses GMail on this list, *and* that thinks this threading thing is an annoyance, please to there and make the suggestion that they use references instead of subjects to sort the threads, even if this can only be an option. If enough people ask for it, they may listen. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Gustavo Seabra Graduate Student Chemistry Dept.
