Ah, so it's not *quite* as broken as that, because it does only mangle a user's *own* messages back to them; not all messages to them. So threading works a bit.... except for threads you *participate* in. Yay! But at least opting out can mostly isolate an individual from the adverse effects of this strangeness, and it isn't inflicted upon us (much) by others who haven't opted out. > Should I offer to set one up @lists.infradead.org?
