When a message contains a References header, you have the choice to ignore it. When that References header is taken away, I don't have the choice to act on it anymore because I can not act on something that isn't there. If you don't like the way your email client threads, fix your email client. >> Moreover, it is a direct violation of RFC 2822: >> In all cases, it is the meaning that the sender >> of the message wishes to convey > > Please come on: how many users actually know that there exists an ID > and REFERENCE header in a reply, > and use them to mean anything? So ignorance is an excuse now and we should all adopt the lowest common denominator? > Please use your imagination instead of brandishing RFCs ;-) I don't have to use my imagination, we have all seen the damage rewriting headers can do. Those that pay attention can see it every day again on this list. The problem with charsets not being preserved on cf-talk can be attributed to stripping the charset out of the message header. The problem with line wrapping not being preserved on cf-talk can be attributed to removal of the formatting information from the headers. The problem with cf-talk email being tagged as spam can be attributed to removing header lines. You can choose not to act on a header that is send to you. Fix your email client if you don't like the threading. Read the online archives that behave according to Michaels rules for all I care. But don't force others to follow your threading rules by taking away the information to thread in the way they want.
