The solution my mods implement, basically fixes pipermail to work as it looks like was intended. If no message ID based threading is available when archiveing (ie: no In-Reply-To:/References: headers), then thread the message after the oldest message with the same subject.
This has the benefit of grouping messages with the same subject together, but allows the entire thread list to continue to be sorted by date. You also continue to get indentation under the oldest message in the thread. I prefer the overall date sorting of the threadlist because you can go to the end and see recent threads. Unfortunately, we get very little message-Id based threading on our internal mailing list, because of our Exchange server stripping out the information. -Stuart- -----Original Message----- From: Bob Puff@NLE [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2002 7:12 PM To: Stuart Donaldson Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Re: [Mailman-Developers] pipermail - threading with subjects I submitted to Barry a few mods to pipermail's archives, one being the order of messages shown in Thread mode. It really bothered me that messages without the message ID got put in a totally different area of the thread list. My solution was to alphabetize the thread list, which is listed in date order. So at least all the threads of a given subject are together, as long as the subject line remains constant.
