That's a strange bug. Will have to look at it another time. > Is there a way to enforce stricter threading rules? Right now, it's a combination of strict threading based on references/in-reply-to and exact subject matching by hash. It could be possible to disable the subject matching part... But that case is a strange bug which I'll have to examine more closely another time (maybe later this week, but more likely next). -- unsubscribe: one-click, see List-Unsubscribe header archive: https://public-inbox.org/meta/
