should we do some magic to avoid threads on PD-announce? i (think that i) could set-up a filter-rule that would automatically catch all emails with the "in-reply-to" header set and reject them. is this a good idea? are there any caveats? (dunno, but probably somebody wants to post a legit email to pd-announce which is in fact a reply to somebody's mail, e.g. because a thread turned into an announcment)
Perhaps you could consult the existing pd-announce archives and scan for in-reply-to... Most of the headers are missing from the public archives, but in-reply-to is one of the preserved fields.
zgrep -i in-reply-to 2007-07.txt.gz zgrep -i in-reply-to 2007-06.txt.gz zgrep -i in-reply-to 2007-05.txt.gz ... will give you an idea of how many mails would be rejected.An easier way to handle this is to put the whole pd-announce archive in mailbox format and look at it in a mail thread viewer, but this only covers replies to other pd-announce, so you still have to zgrep to figure out in-reply-to relationships with external sources of email.
