I'm running r5472. I still think something's not right with how
threads work. For the inbox of my corporate account, I have
"View->Organize by Thread" selected. Yet I see messages in the same
thread that are not being grouped together. If I look at one such
message, and select the "Thread"
toolbar button, then I see the other two messages in the thread, and
can verify by looking at the details of the search that they all
have "Thread-id is 111476". So why aren't they grouped together in
my regular inbox view?
Because MailMate only shows parent-child relationships. It might know
that 2 messages belong to the same thread, but if there are any
missing links between them in the current mailbox then they are not
shown together.
Okay, this explains it. In these cases, I've either deleted
unimportant messages in the middle of the thread, or my responses
(sitting in my Sent folder) make up part of the thread. For the
latter case, I've found that if I select both my inbox & sent
mailboxes, then MM finds the parent-child relationships.
This is a side effect of the hierarchical strict threading used by
MailMate. This is also the main reason that “group threading” has
been on my todo forever. Some day...
Please add my vote for this "some day" to be sooner rather than
later...
And another vote …
I find this a particular problem because I’m on a club committee where
we have a committee@… address that expands at the server to all of us.
The first reply-all goes to the originator as themselves, plus
committee@… which includes the originator. Something seems to limit
this to three copies of every email, but someone’s reply can be from
any of the three. If I delete the ‘wrong’ duplicate I get a gap in
the thread. (Add to this the fact that I have two function based entries
in the committee@… expansion, collected from two different IMAP logins
on the same server, and I soon get confused).
