This will also happen most of the time when the reply user is on digest, because the digest has no reference header to the single article they are replying to. The exception may be if they are getting the digest type that their email client can explode back into individual articles - and if Mailman includes the reference header with the individual articles. Since I don't "do" digests, I don't know what the details are with this type of digest and if threading works in this case or not. Someone who knows more about this type of digest may be able to give input on if it retains the references header for each post. jc ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
