Shouldn't Entourage be able to read the "thread" ID regardless of whether someone changes the Subject of an email -- shouldn't that "new" message file into part of the actual thread? When sorting by Subject, things get out of order with spaces, with where the "Re:" goes, with whether an email client adds another "Re" or capitalizes "RE", etc. -- but these issues should be transparent if the messages are actually sorted by *thread* and not subject. Say, the way Mail or Thunderbird do it. No? On other lists, people are always griping that someone simply replied to an old message and changed the Subject, and so the new subject is buried in the old *thread*. peace, Linda -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
