Hallo MAU,

live), you wrote:

Check Xav's other messages to this list, they all suffer from the same
symptom. All his replies include an In-Reply-To: header that refers to
a message-id like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and the last
part is his own domain.
When I'm doing an mx-query for glenmere.com, the receiving mail
servers are listed as relay1.netnames.net and relay2.netnames.net
Netnames is a domain registrar, my guess is that they offer the option
to let all of the mail sent to your domain can be forwarded to another
address. And instead of sending the message with an unchanged
message-id they replace it with a new one.
Clearly a broken setup, but I don't know whether Xav can change that
as I don't know whether the message-id stripping is configurable.

As a side note I suppose that at Xav's only his own replies are threaded
correctly.

That's because only the message-id is substituted, not the rest of the
headers.

M> Can you or anybody explain what happened here?

I hope this suffices.
Of course I could be wrong with blaming Netnames and Xav could run
some tool by himself that is stripping/replacing message-id's.

A noisy exhaust to some almost amounts to a mating call.
