Do you use the In-Reply-To: field to do the linking? Not all mailers set it correctly or at all, but (since I use Mutt which is a great threaded mail reader) I noticed that a large number of the posts to Brin-L do have them set correctly, at a guess at least 75%. -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.com/
