This is understandable, hence the question no 3 in my previous post (see below). > run gconf-editor. There is a key in apps->evolution->mail->display. > turn thread_subject on.

Well... It's the whole point. I would very much like the thread of my messages to remain organized, no matter what happens. So, let's say the references along with the subject matching take care of 80% of the mail, matching mail manually would allow me to manually match the remaining 20%. Now, how would I do it? I am not sure. As far as the UI is concerned, I think the simplest way would be allow the user to drag a message over another one and have Evolution ask if this action should result in a thread change (in case the dragging in unintentional). Then, upon answering 'yes', the program could assign the "in-reply-to" of the moved email to match the thread. In the line of thought, the popup menu of a single email message could contain the option "Un-thread", in which case you would remove the "In-reply-to" and "reference". In fact, I think allowing the user to thread some messages manually would solve ALL problems about threading. One more thing... Correct me if I am wrong, but if someone forwards a message and then move the sent copy to the same folder as the originating thread, it starts a new thread. This is not necessarily what a user want (I want EVERYTHING related to a thread to remain in the thread). By allow manual threading, this is taken care of as well... Thanks for reading, and hopefully considering the enhancements!
