Yes this one is OK.
What Allie was referring to is the header In-Reply-To: and References
you see when pushing F9 while viewing a message. I'm not sure if you
can see the headers in Mulberry or not. I don't think it actually has
anything to do with the address you send it to.
I am guessing here but I believe the way it works is that when you
send a message it is given a message ID or mid that is created
specifically for that message. It is in the form of an email address
(sort of) that might look like <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> . When
you reply to a message a header is created called:
In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
and another one called:
References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I assume each email client uses a different formula to come up with
these mids, but I really don't know. I think the experts on the list
could expound.
When someone replies to your reply the Reference header will look like
the following:
References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
and after several replies back and forth like this:
References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
It is these headers that are used when you select thread by Reference.
Now for your problem. Your copy of Mulberry, not Allie's, seems to not
enclose your mid in <>. In other words your message has References
that look like this.
References: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
That small difference seems to make your messages not thread
correctly.
Again in The Bat! use F9 to view the headers and this info for the
message you are viewing.
