I agree with this. Then there's another question that begs asking. I'm not sure how often RFCs are updated etc, but if innovation/features such as this gmail conversations isn't in the RFC, and it's something new, and only gmail uses it, it would mean they're not following the RFC/open standards and thus unacceptable? How then can innovation occur? I've been asked, if everyone follows open standards, which takes ages to finalise, how is innovation gonna survive/surface? > > Besides, this got *nothing* to do with the Windows port of Evolution. > Linux users do correspond with Windows users. And there are Windows only > MUAs out there, that don't give a fuck about Outlook specific headers... Yeah.. I know.. but I was thinking that since it's alry gonna be on windows, and it supports Exchange(even under Linux) then possibility that the team might support Thread-Index as well. (else, I think existing/new (Outlook) users might not think of switching to Evo. ps: I just found out Evo supports alternative threading to fall back to subject threading. So.. it's still cool. -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 1.5GB RAM 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
