Dan Thurman: > Hmm. I wonder if what is happening is that Yes. I can see from your headers that your client is inserting the in-reply-to and references headers. So your client is doing threading properly, it's user error. To me, it's just common sense that I don't press the reply button if I'm not replying to someone. Just as I don't play with the print button if I want a "disc file" copy of a message. I use programs in the way that they're obviously designed to work (e.g what the features are named for, and the manuals describe), not what just seems to do something that I'm trying to do. Manual reading and a bit of careful experimenting usually explains why. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.23.12-52.fc7 i686 i386 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
