Hi Julian:
Well, how many threadmarkers are needed? If the list is small [ie., less than a dozen
markers], then perhaps it could be included as part of the standard footer provided by
the GML list server. A signature, if you will. That way, threadmarker codes or
keywords will be readily accessible.
Personally, I would prefer keywords over letter codes.
