Because different email software authors have different ideas on how to prefix replies (i.e.:
* some add one "re:" and no more
* others always ad an additional "re:", sometimes resulting
in subjects like "re: re: re: re: News"
* and some, like TB, use a numbering scheme such as re[3]:
) threaded views a rarely correctly organized (except in
groups like this one where everyone is using the same email
program).
I'd like to suggest/request an option for the threading model
to either do whatever it is doing now (for those who like it)
*OR* to have it skip over all known forms of the 're' prefixes.
Perhaps even allowing the user to specify a regular expression
for what constitutes the various types of 're' prefixes that
are to be ignored when trying to match subject lines for
threading.
I'm attaching a screencap from one of the worst threaded
folders I have as an example. There should be 11 threads
but there are 25 visible (and more farther down the list).
Also note that some of the threads contain messages from
DIFFERENT THREADS!
As the example shows, TB's current threading model is not
usable when multiple correspondents all use different email
software. Especially when the various packages all prefix
replies differently. TB just gets totally lost and even
starts making things up.
