>From http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-6.html#ss6.3 : "strict_threads Type: boolean Default: no If set, threading will only make use of the ``In-Reply-To'' and ``References'' fields when ``sorting'' by message threads. By default, messages with the same subject are grouped together in ``pseudo threads.'' This may not always be desirable, such as in a personal mailbox where you might have several unrelated messages with the subject ``hi'' which will get grouped together." -- Jim Crumley | Free Dmitry Sklyarov!
