It means that mutt couldn't thread the message by message-id, but it found a likely match based on subject. If you don't want this, you can set $strict_threads. If you want it to be even more liberal about what it attaches to what, you can unset $sort_re. The default settings are probably a good compromise, though. -Daniel -- Daniel E.
