Uhum, I am not sure what you mean. But if I read you right this time[0], I was "always" sure the proper way to link one message to another is by utilising information from other header fields - maybe using "Subject" as a last resort. Fields like "List-Id", "List-Owner", sometimes "Reply-To", and last but not least, "In-Reply-To". > I'm suggesting that GMail could do the same, at least for notes > classified as "Forums". "We have the technology"... [0] Yeah. It seems I misunderstood your original post, where I took your use of word "threading" as synonym for my problem. And now I understand you want to sort incoming emails into different, say, folders, using some kind of, say, filters? This kind of tricks were easy when I sorted my mails with procmail (classified each email based on their headers, leaving out spam). Ok, maybe not that easy but doable. I do not know if this method could be ported to G-mail filters, after quick glance on their help. Sorting with procmail worked fine, until one day spam started to come from mailing lists themselves. After that, having messages in many different folders lost lot of its charm, so I do not sort nowadays. -- Regards, Tomasz Rola -- ** A C programmer asked whether computer had Buddha's nature. ** ** As the answer, master did "rm -rif" on the programmer's home ** ** directory.
