So far it seems like we're stuck with the same 2 options: A. Remove MessageID from header so people can safely reply to start a new thread.
B. Keep MessageID in header so that people can change the subject slightly and have the message stay in the same thread.

Jochem, I'm not sure how removing the MessageID would: - Screw up charsets - put mail in junk - influence line-wrapping Cheers, Baz -----Original Message----- From: George Abraham [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 17, 2006 2:24 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Suggestion for the list Why not?
