If someone has the time and the inclination, this could be checked by looking at the message headers (for Message IDs and List headers). Gmail is pretty good when it comes to combining individual emails into a conversation and I have not come across such a gross error in many years. If one of you can isolate two distinct and separate emails sent to the two lists that were combined by email into one conversation and send me the headers offlist, I can report it as a bug. Thaths
