Thanks. > Because, in reality, that checkbox stands for "munge my Message-IDs so > that GMail doesn't de-duplicate my own emails when the list reflects > them to me". But, two wrongs don't make a right :/ Wow, this is just completely brain-damaged on so many levels. So people who do, and who don't, have that box checked will receive the same message with *different* Message-Id: headers? If one of them replies, the In-Reply-To: threading header in their reply will refer to a message that *doesn't* exist in the other person's mailbox. This kind of explains why threading was so broken for messages on the list, with some response getting 'lost' because they were detached from the thread. This does not facilitate effective communication. Did nobody at groups.io ever stop and think this through? Can it really not be turned off for the whole list? Why on earth did we move the list to somewhere that can't even get the *basics* right? Should I offer to set one up @lists.infradead.org? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
