Message-id and reference. The message ID is the unique identifier assigned to a message by the mail server. In some cases, the message-id is not set and will have to be set 'by hand'. This can be done by assigning a UUID with the @domainname added to it (to be legal). This is the message-id of your message Message-ID: <000601c2d84e$8136dbe0$0c9e19c0@JCHASTAIOB>
The reference (also called reply-id) is the message-id of the message the email is in response to. I have a lot of code to do this that I can send your way if you want. Very complete with a single limitation, it makes use of the CFX_ODSMime tag from coolfusion.com (the makers of iMS). > I am needing to put together a simple web based archive for email messages. > My question is how to build the threading - how do you tell how one message > relates to another?
