That threading feature has been in earlier versions of Eudora as well. Just option-click on any subject in the list and Eudora groups all emails in that thread. The only problem is that some people insist on changing the subject as the thread goes on :(
Then the mail client is not doing message threading correctly. Each email message has a header named in-reply-to, for example:
In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
This in-reply-to head is what is used to create a threaded view of messages. This is how Apple Mail.app does it. I believe the original Netscape Mail used to do it this way.
For example: I'm looking at a thread "revSpeak & Windows". In it are messages subject "revSpeak & Windows", "RE: revSpeak & Windows" and "Windows sound Help".
Now it also appears that some people (eric hansen?) are hitting reply to a list message, then changing the topic *entirely*, as a shortcut for composing a new topic message to the list. This looks bad in a threaded view because based on the in-reply-to headers, it's thread, but the message content does not make a coherent thread.
