Although I agree that subject matching can and should be improved in TB, threading by subject can never achieve actual threading as can be accomplished with Threading by Reference using the In-Reply-To and/or References header lines. The obnly problem with Threading by Reference, as Alexander has pointed out, is that some e-mail clients (or servers) do break the threading headers. Threading by subject should actually be called "Grouping by Subject". Anyway, a workaround I use when I want to see a thread (group) by subject is to create a VF. That way I can see and follow the thread (group) even if messages are in different folders. -- Best regards, Miguel A.
