Hello, my Hyperkitty is creating a new post for each reply in a thread. I
would expect that new posts to a list would show up in the archive and once
you click on that thread you would see all replies. However in my
Hyperkitty each reply to a thread shows up as its own post usually with the
subject line saying RE: Original Message. How can I set up Hyperkitty to
behave more like the lists.mailman3.org archives where replies to topics
are filed under their respective threads?

HyperKitty's threading is based solely on In-Reply-To: headers. It does not attempt to thread based on References: or Subject: matching.

Usually this works, but it can fail if for example A posts to a list. B replies off list to A and A replies on list to B's off list reply. In this case, the In-Reply-To: of A's reply is the Message-ID: of B's reply which isn't on the archive, so A's reply starts a new thread, but this is unusual, and HyperKitty has a "Reattach this thread" feature that a list owner or superuser can use to attach one thread to another.

However, if this non-threading occurs regularly, It may be that the replyer's MUA is not setting In-Reply-To:. I've seen some phone clients do this.
