Re: Threading?

2018-08-15 Thread John
Back when I used to get PDML using the digests I was told it broke threading. 
But I don't think it arbitrarily inserted my replies into unrelated threads.

Some mail clients, and some mail servers, seems to break the email

It is not a valid way of starting new threads because the message with the 
changed subject and all replies to it remain part of the original thread.

Email headers contain a variety of information, and changing the subject field 
does not change the references field upon which threading and archiving depend. 
The only way to start a new thread is to write an entirely new message with the 
new subject (unless one is an IT geek who fully understands headers and how to 
edit them to fool the mailing list software, and even for an IT geek it is 
easier to just create a new message). As far as the email software is concerned 
changing the subject affects nothing because the software does not parse the 
subject field to determine threading, it parses the references field to 
determine threading.

It's a known issue between Yahoo & Gmail. Yahoo broke something to do with 
mailing lists. Gmail can't cope.


You can create a filter in Gmail to tell it not to send emails to SPAM.

Create a new contact in Gmail for johnsessoms at yahoo dot com

Then go into Gmail settings and create a filter from the new contact and select 
"Never send it to Spam".

Yup.  Same here.  Annoying.

 I found that the Reference: field header (which has the message ID
 of the email you are replying to in order to sort the emails into
 threads) was missing in your emails.

That's the reason.  The References: header is not formally required
for email (it's a USENET News thing), so some email software doesn't
generate it.  It's a bloody good idea, though, which is why most email
software does.  :-)

 Or could it be a problem with my email program instead?

Nope.

Aha -- yeah, that would do it.  In most of the other cases I've seen,
though, it's a missing feature of the email software used.

 It's very tempting to simply re-title each reply, but people
 complain when I do that, so now I try to copy the existing thread
 title and paste it in.

Please keep doing that.  Keeping the subject intact at least makes
your new posting a new sub-thread of the main one.  Do change the
subject when you totally are, though.  :-)

Re: Mike:Email Threading

2003-02-05 Thread Mike Johnston
 That's the reason.  The References: header is not formally required
 for email (it's a USENET News thing), so some email software doesn't
 generate it.  It's a bloody good idea, though, which is why most email
 software does.  :-)



I use MS Entourage, which came bundled with the MS Word that a client bought
for me because he wanted an editing project done in Word. As soon as I get
my eMac and go all System OSX native, I'll be using the e-mail software
built in to OSX. Maybe that will do better.

Sorry again for the unintentional annoyance. (For that matter, sorry for the
intentionally annoying bits, too. s)

 Not sure if
 this happens to other people, but my email program is not able to sort
 Mike's emails.  So all Mike's responses would appear as a new thread,
 instead of following the post he was replying to.
 
 Sorry, Mike, I did not mean to pick on you :-)  A few other posters'
 emails behave the same way.  Just that your emails are on my always read
 list, that's why I find it so noticeable.

Lawrence,
I think that's because I read, and respond to, the Digest. Thus when I
respond to a thread, I have to manually title the reply. That probably
breaks the chain.

All email programs seem to have their own way of recognising threads, but none I have 
encountered so far have a 100% hit rate. 
Best,

Here's an unrelated topic.  To handle the large volume of this list, I use

I found that the Reference: field header (which has the message ID of
the email you are replying to in order to sort the emails into threads)
was missing in your emails.  I am not familiar with Entourage, so I do not
know if there is a setting you can change.  Anyone else who have noticed
this problem?  Or could it be a problem with my email program instead?
