Well, here are some interesting header lines from my message to which you are replying: Message-ID: <[email protected]> References: <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> X-Original-Message-ID: <[email protected]> X-Original-References: <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> The X-Original-Message-ID: line is a rewrite of the original Message-ID: line Claws-Mail assigned when I wrote the message. The Message-ID: line is the replacement generated by the bofh.it list server. These both look quite kosher. Now, when we look at the References: and X-Original-References: lines, we see that the list server has rewritten the message id's of all the messages referred to earlier in the thread. I find this a little strange, as it seems that the message id's sent to Usenet differ from the ones sent via email. If we now look at the innards of your message, the one to which I am currently replying, we see this: References: <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> X-Original-References: <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> The last message id in your X-Original-References: line has used my original message id, not the one from the Message-ID: line generated by the Gentoo list server. This should not cause problems, as the better mail and news readers should only use In-Reply-To: and References: header lines for the initial threading. I should point out that I always post by SMTP to [email protected], and never through an NNTP server (not even my own). This means that you should not see my original Message-ID: line, except after it has been rewritten and replaced by the list server. So, why is KNode using my original message id for its References: line? Could you please look at the Message-ID: and X-Original-Message-ID: lines in my previous message and compare them to those I posted above? -- Regards, Dave [RLU #314465] *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* [email protected] (David W Noon) *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
