On 13 October 1999 at 23:13, [EMAIL PROTECTED] told the list:

MDP>> The   threading   feature  relies  on  the  presence  of  coherent
MDP>> 'In-Reply-To' and/or 'References' headers

SL> Is this something postmaster of the list can cut or add, or is it mail
SL> client specific?

It  is  *completely*  specific to the mail client. Some do it well, some
not  so  well,  some  not  at all. You see, only the mail client used to
reply  to  a message knows the ID of that message at the time to be able
to generate the correct header. Once the reply is sent, then there is no
longer  anything  connecting  the two messages if there are no threading
headers.

Cheers,
Marck
