There's also something called the MDR (Mail Daemon Replacement) which adds additional attributes, including 'thread'. How thread workt is pretty simple, it strips 're'/'fwd' etc from the subject line. Think of the Query and attribute combination as a database built into the Filesystem, because it's basically that kind of thing. We don't need an app to manage our mail, the raw folder/query does it all. We simply have an app called 'mail' that opens when you double click on a mail message. Very liberating. > Every e-mail carries a vast number of headers > that it can be filtered by, to lesser or greater effect, depending on > the quality and flexibility of the filter system in your favorite > client. Nothing to do with headers. The email attributes are indipendent indexable values attached to the email message file. If you've never seen/used BeOS it's not something that's easy to appreciate without demonstrating. Matt -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
