[twsocket] mail reply to display in message thread
Hello, If I want to reply on a mail and I want to have that the receiver of the reply has the possibility to display in same thread like many mail readers do, do I have to use the 'References' header or 'In-Reply-To' header ? It seems that both are sometime used, eg I see a thread here started with this one: Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] first reply uses References: Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] References: [EMAIL PROTECTED] second reply use In-Reply-To: Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In-Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Whitch one is preferred ? Or do both have a different meaning ? --- Rgds, Wilfried http://www.mestdagh.biz mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be

The problem is that different mailers use different systems, so you should consider as many as you can. One last thing you must consider is for those mailers (very common!) who do not even include any reference to the original, except the subject Re: origina_subject. dZ.

Hello DZ-Jay, Aha I get it. So if I wants to be compatible I include both of them, just as your email reader does. One more question, is there a max length fur these headers ? --- Rgds, Wilfried http://www.mestdagh.biz Tuesday, August 30, 2005, 11:07, DZ-Jay wrote: The problem is that different mailers use different systems, so you should consider as many as you can.
