yeah...it does work as advertised, once I find the right
email to create the link. ...which brings me to my next
question....

To fill in the gaps of a thread, I need a copy of the outgoing
message in the folder where the message where I'm replying to
resides. It seems TB only puts messages into the Sent Mail
folder. How can I set an arbitrary out box? I tried to adapt the
threading example in the QT library, but it is too complex for me
right now.

The entire goal of this is to get threading to ``work well.'' The
cases where threading breaks for me is: 1) the respondent uses
some crappy email client that doesn't set in-reply-to or
references header; 2) I respond to an email, and somebody
responds to me, while only setting the in-reply-to field.

1 requires subject threading, which is apparently being
planned. 2 requires my outgoing mail to be dumped into the same
folder as the original email.

Any suggestions?

WL
