Outlook Express has multi-language threading. It's not really a threading problem, most readers do on the reference header, of course. It looks ugly, plain and simple. Outlook Express uses "AW" for "Re" in German, and subjects can look like this: "Aw: Re: Aw: Re: Aw: Re: Blah" Because each time the newsreader does not recognize that it's a reply already. -- Holger Metzger Netscape 6 Tips: http://www.hmetzger.de/netscape6.html
