I think there may be a communication problem here. By ".. that does this ..." I thought you meant the "reply" command was generating the cross-reference headers (In-Reply-To: and References:), not that your mail interface was always displaying message threads, with no way to change that. I rather doubt this is the first program you've encountered that generates the headers (elm, for example, generates the In-Reply-To: header, and mutt generates both of them, as do Eudora and gmail), so I assume you're griping about the limited control you have over the new GUI you've been stuck with. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
