It seems to have been reported as a Debian bug against git a while back: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=593542 but the git-send-email manpage suggests that upstream would like to consider this as user error: # It is up to the user to ensure that no In-Reply-To header already # exists when git send-email is asked to add it (especially note that # git format-patch can be configured to do the threading itself). # Failure to do so may not produce the expected result in the # recipient’s MUA. I think what this boils down to is "don't tell both format-patch and send-email to do threading". send-email threads by default, and format-patch doesn't thread by default, so the path of least resistance is probably not to pass '--thread' to format-patch. (Alternatively you could tell format-patch --thread and send-email --no-thread, but I don't know why you'd want to do that that way around.) -- PMM
