For anyone interested in this.. I had a bit of an exchange with Michael off-list, we thought he had mitigated the issue, it seems not.
Reading between the lines of Michael's off-list replies, I went looking at a certain part of the Mailpile code (I intentionally won't be too precise here.) Anyway, I've just discovered an otherwise harmless bug that will make "new messages" (i.e. thread/conversation starters) look slightly different to replies, forwards, etc. This might explain why almost all the test messages I sent succeeded, but "real" mail has continued to fail. Anyway, I'm wondering generally if and how mail software authors - particularly of 'niche' software - can test and discuss interoperability with the big inbox providers. Is such discussion appropriate here? If not, is there another forum?
