So I did. I was again surprised to find that RFC822 never mentions threads. References are references, In-Reply-To is In-Reply-To and while a client is free to make additional assumptions, the assumptions don't become part of the standard, no matter how popular they become. Or maybe I'm looking at the wrong standard? I was expecting that http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines#Starting_a_New_Subject would make it clear that, whatever the standard may allow, this list assumes clients treat in-reply-to as equivalent to threads. Close, but no superglue. Looks to me - if you're one of the persons offended by hijacking, you know just what that page is talking about. However, if you're one of the unwashed (don't use 'real' client), trying to understand what the problem is, ....... not much help.
