Translation: for some reason he and a few others' replies are often (but
not always) threaded incorrectly in some e-mail readers.
To give a basis for comparison, look at the BerliOS archive of his
thread today, entitled 'svn tap name patch':
https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/openocd-development/2009-May/thread.html
It appears as several scattered different threads, which is how it
appeared in my mailbox (amidst all the other threads). Interestingly,
more research shows that mail-archive.com handled it just fine:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
If I had to guess, they are smart enough to look for these kinds of
exceptions based on subject. That's buggy in other respects.

Me neither. I wrote you to see if we could figure it out off-list.
My first guess might buggy/old client software; a new one might be
related to different native languages (i18n bugs).

Most likely. I cannot fathom what the problems might be. After having
done the above research, I am willing to admit that there are bugs in
Evolution's threading (at least compared to mail-archive.com), but the
fact that mailman has the same problems says something bigger is
happening here. Can anyone clue us in?
Cheers,
Zach
