No. It is defined in RFC 822 which predates the current USENET format (NB NNTP doesn't specify any headers, their specified in a different RFC!) This particular distinction has always been a problem for threading email. In fact the RFC 822 definition doesn't require that the references be on a single direct ancestral path, only that they be referenced. ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
