Syntax for threading is fairly simple really; but probably not obvious to someone new to the list. After not using it for a year or two I forget the details. I've expanded this section. https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMailingLists#Message_Threading_and_Replying If someone can improve further, good. Given that References includes the In-Reply-To identifier, I'm not sure In-Reply-To is necessary for threading. Might test one of these weeks; at the cost of a little more aggravation to readers. =8~) The message archive is public information but if you don't want your message cited, another example can be found. Anyone can edit. Or notify that you want it changed.

Yes, people tend to follow the easiest path. Initiative and proactive effort are unusual. Many pages in wiki.debian.org are undeveloped and many have typographical and wiki syntax errors. A reader has to wonder how many others have ignored an easily fixed error or abandoned reading rather than spend a few minutes to make an improvement. Thousands? Tens of thousands? That's human nature. Too little tolerance of human nature, can lead to the life of a grouchy old curmudgeon. ...
