Why should it make things significantly more complicated? > > I think what you are looking for is "thread based on subject" which we > used to have in 1.0.x (then everyone complained, so we removed it - and > now everyone is complaining that we *don't* thread by subject anymore - > *sigh*, the pain never stops ;-) I don't think that's what's being asked for. Here is my take. If you select a message *regardless of the current message headers or content*, a user could opt to have the selected message as a reply to some other other message thereby inserting the "In-Reply-To: " header. Similarly, a user could select a message and opt to remove the "In-Reply-To" header if one exists. As to how those headers get added/removed is a different story. For locally stored mail there's no problem. However, as you pointed out earlier for server stored mail things are different and seems might require some more thought. I do agree though that it's not entirely trivial to alter a message's headers for those that are not directly supported through the existing IMAP protocol RFC. I haven't had a chance to completely read the "IMAP COMMAND+ Extension" but does anyone who has think that there might be possibilities there? -- mike\n. _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
