Guess: are you using gmail? Each list adds its own prefix. Which is admittedly a bad idea but there you are, OASIS outsources this and can't change it. Adding a footer is an even worse idea but they won't change this either. So if you are subscribed to multiple lists you are getting multiple copies, which is handy if each list goes to its own folder. However, gmail is unusual in that it deduplicates email discarding all copies but one. There are work-arounds with filters but the end result in any case will be that you will get one of the copies, selected at random. As they have different prefixes and footers added, there you go, a mix of different prefixes in a single thread. -- MST --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
