There was a recent discussion on the list related to this. It had to do with turning off subject-based detection. What you need will require code changes. And your need is a little different. You want subject-based detection, but only if "Re: " (or similiar qualifier) is present. I am now considering the following modifcation to threading: o A resource to turn on/off subject-based detection when computing threads. o When subject-based detection is active, only subjects with "Re: " are considered. NOTE: Will have to key off the SUBJECTREPLYRXP resource. I.e. A subject that does match SUBJECTREPLYRXP will *not* be part of a thread based on subject; it will become part of a separate thread.
