David, what you got going on there my friend? You using a mobile
device or something? ;-) Just curious.
I am using Claws-Mail under Xfce on a desktop system.
However, I am polling this mailing list as a newsgroup through the
eternal-september NNTP server in Germany. This server sometimes
modifies the Message-ID: line in the headers, so that the References:
line in my follow-up has a different message id from the one that you
are seeing in the messages to which I reply. This happens only
sporadically, at least as I read the list -- but then it would, as the
message id's I see are the ones eternal-september likes.
Exactly why the eternal-september server changes the Message-ID: line
is not immediately obvious. I suspect some mail and news readers
generate Message-ID's that are not RFC-compliant and eternal-september
corrects the problem, BICBW.
Now watch him not read this message. lol
I'm reading it a bit late because I was doing a full system backup of my
own newsserver system (~40 gigs) with the cron jobs all stopped,
including the one that pulls messages from news.eternal-september.org.
So I was off the air for about 3½ hours today.
Well, something works now. This is threaded as it should be. So,
whatever you are doing, keep doing it that away. lol
I don't want you to think I was upset or anything. I just went back and
noticed you was one of the ones that it was breaking the threads on. I
was sort of figuring you were using a mobile device or something that
was breaking it and it was not you choosing to break it. Someone
noticed it was also doing the same with someone else's replies as well.
I figured it was something about the senders "equipment" or maybe it was
just me. That's why I asked and was trying to figure out why this was
happening.
Better late than never. lol Glad you got you backups done, I hope you
never need them. ;-)
