Paul Gilmartin,
I've noticed for a long time now that every time you respond on IBM-MAIN
it starts a new thread in my mail client (Thunderbird). I finally
decided to compare headers from your non-threaded posts to other
peoples' threaded posts. What I see is that the requisite "In-Reply-To:"
header element, necessary to properly thread messages together, is
missing from your responses. Is there any way to fix that?
Thunderbird can be configured to also use the subject for threading:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/MailNews:Message_Threading
I have the opposite problem - many people start new threads by replying
to an existing message and changing the subject - which means the
"In-Reply-To:" header is inserted and the new thread is buried in an old
one.
I wish I could figure out how to make Thunderbird ignore the
In-Reply-To: header, and just use the subject. Then changing the subject
line woud start a new thread, which is usually what is intended.
