Wait, how is pegasus doing threading? Threading should not need the subject for anything, and just rely on the References and In-reply-to headers. Check if there's somehow a way to enable that kind of threading in your client (although one wonders why would such option be disabled...). > If the list admin changed this to something like [lo-users] or even > [lou] it would make threading far more reliable. I'd like libo-users, but like Tom said, the idea was to always use the complete, full name, in order to avoid promoting several, different names and nicknames. But still, this is something kind of internal, and shortening it would at least make more room in some screens for the actual message subject. -- Nuno J.
