Hello all, as I'm sure most of you have noticed, the threaded view of messages on this list works just wonderfully. This is because you can set TB to sort by references and most users on this list do use The Bat to write their messages. References and subjects are generated correctly. Pure bliss.
However, in the cruel world out there there are other mailing lists! Lists that have users with all kinds of mail programs. Threaded view doesn't work on these lists, neither threading by reference nor threading by subject. Somehow TB doesn't thread messages correctly that haven't been created with TB. At least most of the time. I don't think that all other mail programs generate bad subjects or references, so why does TB not work? Sure, I could go out there and evangelize, ask them to use TB, but some of them might not be inclined to use a new program. Instead, might it be possible that TB is fixed to thread correctly? Look at the code of mutt (a free, open-source mail client in the unix world) to see how robust threading is implemented. They have only one option to thread, and that works as good as can be expected, way better than TB. This is one of the very few points in which I think TB can be greatly improved. I hope the developers are getting this.
