So, one, GMail's Conversation View *isn't* threading. A conversation is centered around a subject or topic. If that subject changes, GMail opens up a separate conversation. For instance, the "Upgrade Bugzilla" is a separate subject than "Gmail threading finally working!". This is a feature, not a bug, as many people just mash "Reply All" to start a new topic.
If you're curious as to the horrors of the headers, jwz has a long post here: http://www.jwz.org/doc/threading.html There are people trying to implement the GMail Conversation View in e.g. Thunderbird, who say why the headers aren't good, or how they fail: https://github.com/protz/GMail-Conversation-View/wiki/What-is-threading On Wed, Dec 12, 2012 at 3:41 PM, Andre Klapper <[email protected]> wrote: > Examples / references welcome. > > On Wed, 2012-12-12 at 15:27 -0500, Jasper St. Pierre wrote: > > Various people have documented why the header is broken, and thus why > gmail > > doesn't care about or use it. > > > > On Wed, Dec 12, 2012 at 11:32 AM, Dodji Seketeli <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > > > > > > Whoah!
