What is the 'References:' header, if it has any, of the the message wrongly threaded? Could it be that you threaded it manually?

Re: Threading issue
Hello Paul, I admit there are times I want to change the subject is a received message so I just redirect it to me with the changes. Takes little time and works well. Why don't you forward it to yourself as a MIME attachment? You don't even need to actually send it, just put it in Outbox and then move it to appropriate folder. This, to me, has the advantage that full integrity of received message is maintained, including all the headers. This has also the side advantage that you can use the body of the message to yourself for notes or comments about the received message and, again, maintaining full integrity of the received message. I have done this a few times instead of using the Memo field, which is not readily visible and that is kept separately in the Index file and not as part of the message itself. And if the received message is part of a thread (for example a reply to a previous one in a mailing list), and you'd like to maintain threading, do a Reply to the the same 'previous' message and attach it. Again, this will maintain full integrity of the originally received message. -- Best regards, Miguel A.
