Pete, it's a term used in Gmail and some other MUAs, referring to the context of sent and received messages to and from the same correspondent(s) on the same subject. It's similar to a thread but also includes your own replies, and the component messages are all treated as a unit in the interface. From the Gmail help: When people reply to an email, Gmail groups responses together in conversations with the newest email on the bottom. A conversation breaks off into a new conversation if the subject line changes or the conversation gets to more than 100 emails. > > Is this maybe some mistake on > > the wikipedia page? > > > > Surely not. I'd be shocked, shocked! poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
