Yes, but does it appear correctly threaded? BTW this sort of thing is just one example of why I prefer mutt. Not sure why some MUAs and newsreaders insist on making a secret of the original, actual, message headers, but I tend not to trust software that does that sort of thing. Probably it's just the result of a misguided "no-one wants all that 'extra' info cluttering things up" belief, but you never know. -- klaatu virada nicto
