Hi Erik,
What OS and email client do you use?
Hi Eric,
It's Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS, and Mutt 1.5.20.
And since Georg-Johann appears to use Thunderbird, it's not unreasonable
to suspect that something in Graham's post is triggering the spurious
thread linking, but I've even cleaned my glasses before going over his
headers again, and it still looks like he's done all he reasonably could
to start a new thread. (Viewed both via mutt's header display option,
and by going in with vim.)
Since I've hit # in mutt, the threads are now separated here, but they
were linked on receipt, AFAIR. The why of it has me stumped, though.
I think we have to be able to show some header deficiency before we can
fault the posting technique. (After that, a solution ought not be too
difficult.)

There are a number of headers that can be used, such as "References" and
various "Thread" headers. Mutt is a relic from the middle ages (I'm a
great command-line fan, and do a fair amount of my work in shells, but
gui's really are better for some types of program), so it is not a
surprise that Thunderbird is better at tracking message threads.
The posting technique /is/ at fault. It doesn't really matter if /you/
don't see the threading - as long as at least one other person sees it,
the post is threaded. (Of course, it matters for curiosity - I can
fully understand if you want to know /how/ the threading works.)
In short, the matter is solved - when you start a new topic, make a new
post to avr-gcc-list@nongnu.org rather than replying to an existing
post. It will be a lot easier than trying to remove all the headers
from a reply!
For what it's worth, I too dislike the newer AVR Studio - partly because
I do most of my development work with Linux, and partly because even on
Windows it is a bloated mess. I can't figure out why they decided to
use MS VS as a base - the industry has practically standardised on
Eclipse, and the single biggest request from users for AVR Studio 5 was
that it be cross-platform. But I guess Atmel had their reasons, and
they are certainly good at making the compiler toolchain easily
available from Linux, so I don't want to complain /too/ much.
mvh.,
David
