Gmail threading is discussed here: https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/guides/threads which says, in part: In order to be part of a thread, a message or draft must meet the following criteria: 1. The requested threadId must be specified on the Message or Draft.Message you supply with your request. 2. The References and In-Reply-To headers must be set in compliance with the RFC 2822 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822#appendix-A.2> standard. 3. The Subject headers must match. If you get the list digested, for example, clipping out a note and replying to it creates a new thread, at least in Gmail. This is how I get the list, so I cause that a lot, I'm afraid. Whether it's a Gmail bug/feechur or not is arguable; if I were Gmail, I'd make it configurable to JUST base it on Subject, but we know that way (configurability) lies madness. OTOH it's pretty dumb to look at Gmail and see a half-dozen "threads" with the same subject! So it seems the www interface (which I was unaware still existed; link?) must not be meeting one or both of the first two requirements. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
