I've used it when I want to quote the body text of several messages in a reply, e.g. if things several people have said earlier are relevant now in the discussion. IIRC mutt must treat the first of the replied-to messages as the 'parent' when it generates the In-Reply-To &/or References header(s), since that was the one my message seemed to get threaded under after I'd sent it. -- Richard \\\ SuperH Core+Debug Architect /// ..
