*Subject:* RE: Evolution Functionality
Tim:
I remember in my early days of the internet, Outlook Express was widely
despised for breaking threading by not including the necessary headers
in the replies to maintain the chain. It just, VERY DUMBLY, grouped
messages with same subject, but didn't thread replies with their prior
message in any sane order.
Patrick O'Callaghan:
Threading based on the Subject line is fundamentally broken. Well-run
mailing lists use List-* and In-Reply-To headers to keep things
straight.
And the "references" headers. The in-reply-to headers only associate
one reply to the message it replied to. The references header is
needed to group all the associated messages together.
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'm beginning to wonder how many people actually use a mail program
instead of a webmail interface these days.
Where I work everybody uses a mail client, and we only use the web
interface for checking issues in the client, and even though the
organisation has switched to Outlook/Exchange there are still areas of
the business that still using Lotus Notes/Domino. regards, Steve
