I noticed a design flaw? If the e-mail uses the same titles, it seems to 
organize into that same thread even though they are not the same, just 
the same titles.

E-mail doesn't have the References header, so I'm pretty sure it must
thread via the subject header.

Ah thanks.


But of course, as we've learned in another branch of this thread, when
an e-mail has a Reference header, it is used. When it doesn't have one,
then the Subject is used (this happens by default in 1.1.X, and not by
default in 2.X).


Interesting. Is there a way to tell SM not to merge if no reference headers?

Here's what Jens had to say:

 But not in SM 2, unless you set mail.strict_threading to false. That 
 pref was defaulted to true in bug 449821.

It sounds like that preference was available in 1.1.X but defaulted to
false. Try setting it to true and see if it does what you want.

Most emails for me do have a reference when viewing the full header.

Um, if you sort by Date, there should be an arrow in the

Ant colonies are remarkably similar to cities. No one choreographs the 
action, not even the queen ant, but ant behavior is controlled by swarm 
logic--put 10,000 dumb ants together, and they become smart. They will 
calculate the shortest routes to food supplies sniffing out pheromone 
signals from other ants and Johnson says people do the same thing in 
cities using low-level interactions of people on the street. --Alex

If unavailale in SM v1.x, then can SM v2.x do this?


It would be nice in threaded mode to have a choice of sort by first post date 
and sort by most recent post date, but it's one of those features you only 
really miss a few times a year.


What I would like is an explicit 'sort by date received' rather than date in the 
headers. I realize this might be hard to do on some mail servers, but spammers 
seem to time shift their dates and screw up the sort.
