TBH, I didn't see any evidence of a broken thread. Mutt shows a broken thread with an asterisk in the arrow symbol. A poster shouldn't have to jump through hoops to make the archives look good, IMHO. IOW, how the archive software handles things, shouldn't influence posting style. -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
