Threading based on the Subject line is fundamentally broken. Well-run mailing lists use List-* and In-Reply-To headers to keep things straight. Unfortunately many MUAs either don't respect these or don't encourage list users to use them, and once the header chain is broken it can't be re-joined, i.e. if someone uses Reply-To-All instead of Reply-To-List then nothing following that reply will have the correct headers. Evolution has a Group Reply button which tries to Do The Right Thing whenever possible. poc -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
