nfb, your triple-reply carries this header: In-Reply-To: <20161107230059.ga19...@cskk.homeip.net> <20161108010855.dfy5bwr7jcn4c...@ruderich.org> <20161108011542.GA3594@ratatosk> I.e. it is flagged as a reply to all three correspondents, and it is the recipient's MUA which is stuck with deciding where to display the post in a thread tree. IME it would only be if the poster had chosen to grab posts from multiple subthreads that confusion would arise. Here it was displayed as a reply to my post. If Cameron and Simon's mutts display it under their post, then mutt is doing very well indeed. (Convenience is maximised, and confusion is negligible - within a thread.) Erik
