Hallo Vishal, On Sat, 13 Sep 2003 04:41:27 -0400GMT (13-9-03, 10:41 +0200, where I live), you wrote: RO>> Well they had a common root, but when that common root is purged or RO>> manually deleted, the separate branches appear as different threads.

Well I'll show with a diagram: A+B+E+J-O | | +K | +F-L | +C+G-M | +H | +D-I-N These messages are one thread, but when you delete A, you get three separate subthreads, because the root, the anchor of the thread is gone. When you delete the messages B, C & D, you're getting five subthreads, because the threads B & C are split too. That's what's causing you to think that TB's threading is broken, but it's only that the base of the thread is gone. The reason that you don't see this often is that most threads are like this: A-B-C-D-E-F-G Deleting Message A won't cause any splitting of the thread, because there's only one main discussion without sidetracks. I hope it's clear now. -- Groetjes, Roelof ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.00 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
