Must have been fixed in later releases. When I was using it off/on several years ago, (if my memory is correct), it didn't do proper threading. Does it do message-id threading by default, or is it user configurable? -- Steve + Thursday Aug 26 2004 03:58:01 PM EDT + Hors d'oeuvres -- a ham sandwich cut into forty pieces. -- Jack Benny signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Both times he started new threads That's one of the reasons why I dropped Sylpheed early on! If one has an e-mail client that does real threading, which uses the message-id, then those messages would have appeared in thread(s), totally unrelated to what those threads were discussing. This is what happened here. Since most of the expert help on deb-user, is available from those using e-mail clients like mutt, then it behooves one to know about responding properly. One should create a new message, not hit reply and subsitute a new subject (that keeps the original message-id in the headers). The reason why they appeared differently for you, is that Sylpheed most likely only sorts by subject/date, (aka psuedo threading). This is an excellent example of what happens when some twit uses "reply" when "compose" is appropriate. I use an email client that threads properly, this is going to be rolled up under "Can't post to" where I won't see it any more. -- Cheers John -- spambait [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tourist pics http://portgeographe.environmentaldisasters.cds.merseine.nu/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
