it is possible whenever a followup has a reference to this message - or to a followup which in turn has a reference pointing back at the message. so much for theory. usually, an email message has only *one* reference - pointing at the previous message. usually, that's all you get. some mailers also use a "References:" line. (guess which!) but then there are so many mailers which do not give *any* reference at all - no, not even one. so much for watching threads. hint: you want News aka Usenet and a good newsreader. recommended: gnus, slrn, tin, trn, xnews. (GNKSA!) and then there is mutt plus the NNTP patches..
