Please add my vote for this "some day" to be sooner rather than later... And another vote … I find this a particular problem because I’m on a club committee where we have a committee@… address that expands at the server to all of us. The first reply-all goes to the originator as themselves, plus committee@… which includes the originator. Something seems to limit this to three copies of every email, but someone’s reply can be from any of the three. If I delete the ‘wrong’ duplicate I get a gap in the thread. (Add to this the fact that I have two function based entries in the committee@… expansion, collected from two different IMAP logins on the same server, and I soon get confused).

[MlMt] Still confused about how Threads work
I'm running r5472. I still think something's not right with how threads work. For the inbox of my corporate account, I have "View->Organize by Thread" selected. Yet I see messages in the same thread that are not being grouped together. If I look at one such message, and select the "Thread" toolbar button, then I see the other two messages in the thread, and can verify by looking at the details of the search that they all have "Thread-id is 111476". So why aren't they grouped together in my regular inbox view? In case it's relevant, I have the Default Mailbox for the search bar set to "Current Mailbox" which I know also affects the "Thread" button, and the three messages I'm referring to are all in my inbox. Also, I thought one of the columns I could enable was thread ID, but I no longer see that. I do see a "Thread size", and for all 3 messages of the thread, it's set to 1. I have multiple examples of similar behavior scattered throughout the inbox of my corporate account. Please help me understand the apparent discrepancy here. Thanks. -Eric ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
