But why settle for less than real threading? It's just a matter of changing a few settings in the listserver... I've ben focusing on the List-Id errors, which is what causes me the most grief. But when/if they fix that it's probably easy to fix the threading at the same time. A real threading rely on unique Message-Id. WHen I write a mail to the list i may have this: Message-Id: <op.v8nwwjk5oxyrqf@bk2> When it appears on the list it has changed to: Message-Id: <[email protected]> which is wrong!! It should not change at all. For a real threading it should use In-Reply-To: <the unique message-Id here> In the above case it should have been: In-Reply-To: <op.v8nwwjk5oxyrqf@bk2> You just replied to your own post. Your first mail had Message-Id: <[email protected]> Your second mail should've had a In-Reply-To field referencing that ID, but it didn't. Your second mail had this field: In-Reply-To: <[email protected]> Which, as you can see, is not the same number/ID as you original Message-Id. This causes threading to, at best, be a simple grouping and sorting by date/time, which is not very useful if you want to really follow a thread.. > > Paul > > -----Original Message----- > From: Paul Gray [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: January-25-12 4:02 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Timeline - short descr. in reports > > Mark, > > Outlook (2007 is what I am using) also does have a true 'thread' view, and it > works for this list. > > From the View Menu,--> Arrange By --> Conversation. > > This provides a true 'thread view' and I have no problem with Legacy items.
