The free program Thunderbird allows you to select a threading option.

What e-mail programs allow for threads, even if the board does not?
Are any of them free or cheap? Many people on this list have asked
about this option (at least in part) for this LUG - if a reader on
the
PC will do that trick, it could help a lot of us.

This mailing list's archives uses threading when it displays messages
but it's apparently doing it wrong as it shows all replies to the
original message and no replies to other replies -- only one level.
It does however show that this "New topic" subject is part of the
"Books with more than 2 authors" thread even though the subject was
changed. It also shows that the subjects "Strange characters after
names" and "Unknown given or surnames" were also hijacked from this
same thread.
Actually by scanning down through Legacy's user group archive it's
possible to identify the hijackers! :-))
RootsWeb's archives displays threading correctly. For an example of
how it should look go to RootsWeb's Legacy archive for January 2008
at . . .
http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index/LEGACY/2008-01
where it's immediately apparent, by hierarchy, which message was
being replied to.
