        I don't know. I had a look at the message ID's and references
in the headers and they are fine. If you thread by references they
should come together as they indeed do at my end here. However, when I
thread by subject they aren't together .... Hmmmm.

        OK, hold on a minute. TB! most likely threads by subject by
stripping the Re: from the replies and matching them to the original
subject etc. Look at your original message subject:

        "Red Folders As Seen on Screenshots ?"

        It starts with a 'Re'! Maybe TB! stripped it of the Re and is
trying to match "d Folders As Seen on Screenshots" with the replies
which have been appropriately stripped without castrating the original
subject. AFAIK, TB! will not strip rpt'd "Re"'s right. ;)

        That's my postulate as to what may have happened. Hence, I
think that it's always better to thread by references. :)
