Mulberry doesn't do that. Look at my replies using Mulberry and you'll see the angled brackets around all message ids in the headers. When Mulberry requests a message body and headers, it simply shows and uses what the server sent to it. It will not adjust any content. Tony's IMAP server sends the headers without the brackets around the message id. So when he replies to a message, the brackets remain missing. My IMAP server transmits the message id with the brackets so my replies are fine and thread OK. When Tony imports the messages to a local folder in Mulberry, it parses the headers, no longer depending on the server. The message id contains the brackets at that point and Tony's replies now contain them. Mulberry is just an innocent bystander. The way TB!'s cache works is the way Mulberry works when the messages are imported to a local folder. This is why when Tony uses TB! with his IMAP server, TB! is immune to the problem. However, TB!'s immunity to that problem is about the only benefit to how it currently works. :( -- -= Allie Martin =- The Bat!� v3.5.25 System Specs: http://www.landscreek.net/sysspecs.htm -=-=- Always glad to share my ignorance - I've got plenty. ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.5.25 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
