Well, you are welcome. Communicating through this list is both for
fixing with current problems but too sharing knowledge and experiences.
Even if you don't need the information discussed in one thread, the
knowledge might be helpful in future (if searching the archive or just
remembering the discussion).
Please check to use a different mail system too.
This bloody MS Exchange server always destroys the thread
Yeah, I really should do that - Im not going to be helping myself if my
posts get fragmented! Is it my exchange server screwing things up or my
client (M$ Outlook)?
It is the Exchange server doing so. Changing to a different mail client
won't help. How Exchange behaves is a good example of Microsoft's way to
neglect standards and doing their own thing. So your mail for instance
contains a header tag
Thread-Index: AcUlgoIKC5Z1bMBkQKGUUyxAd1JEPwAk8Hsg
which only the Exchange server handles. Instead it erases from the mail
header lines like
In-Reply-To: <1110527937.9379.9.camel@wjmurray>
References: <1110527937.9379.9.camel@wjmurray>
(both lines taken from a different thread just for showing the usual
tags which mail clients understand for threading)
I've got two boxes - XP and linux - and I currently VNC back to XP for
work emails.
If I could only get Evolution connected to my exchange server I could
live in bliss on my linux box and forget about my windows box for 99% of
the time :o)
Keeping the Exchange server as your outgoing MTA wouldn't change
anything in the show. Both thread handling and the disclaimer would stay
as they are.
I do have a g-mail account, but for some reason I prefer writing emails
in a 'non browser' environment (... Not sure why though).
This point I understand well. On the other hand you should be able to
use your Gmail account with any mail client of choice by accessing the
account through POP3 protocol.
ingoing server: pop.gmail.com (SSL; Port 995)
outgoing server: smtp.gmail.com (SSL; Port 465)
username: username@xxxxxxxxx
special: uses SMTP AUTH. POP3 and SMTP need SSL-encryption.
The SMTP server listens on port 465, the POP3 server on port 995 (which
is standard oort for POP3 over SSL).

Using Gmail with Thunderbird currently and have no complaints.
Threading is no problem.
