This explains how mail clients are supposed to thread messages: http://www.jwz.org/doc/threading.html
Evolution doesn't add the References or In-Reply-To headers when it downloads mail, that is up to the OTHER mail client to do when it sends the messages. Evolution *does* set those headers when replying to messages though (as it is supposed to do). How did you think mail clients threaded messages? black magic? ;-) Jeff On Fri, 2002-03-22 at 11:27, Paul wrote: > I don't have In-Reply-To: nor References: lines in the headers of any > mail i get. > I don't fully understand what the evolution threaded view is based on. > Is there some documentation somewhere or could you explain be a little > bit more ? > Is there a way to tell Evolution to use theses lines in the headers he > produces or, to add'em in incoming mail's headers ??? > I'm lost ;-) > > Thanx in advance > > Paul. > > le jeu 21-03-2002 � 23:11, Jeffrey Stedfast a �crit : > > If it is sorting by subject then it is because the messages that you > > have are not setting a In-Reply-To: or References: header.
