Hi Ken,

I think you miss understand my point. I was not suggesting you where subscribed 
to digest or anything.Your mails indeed come in for me as you send them, just 
like everyone elses.

When you send an email to the macports mailing list, for some reason your 
mailer screws up the header information in the mail such that if you are 
replying to an on going thread my mailer at least (Apple Mail) fails to 
recognise your mail as a reply to that thread, and thus does not correctly 
include the message in that thread. It appears as if you have started a brand 
new mail thread, such as when you compose a new mail rather than reply to one. 
No one elses mails seem to have this problem, only yours.

Mailers use specific fields in the header of each mail to decide if a mail 
belongs to a specifiv thread, and thus for some reason this information is not 
being correctly set in your emials.

Cheers Chris
