Well, it was the message from Amiram which broke the threading, because MailMate uses the `Message-ID` of the digest email which is unrelated to the `Message-ID` of the original thread. I have never looked into the digest format, but IF the format contains all the message ids of the original messages (and their subjects) then it may be possible to introduce a feature in MailMate where the user is asked which message is the original. Then the correct `Subject` and `Message-ID` header could be inserted by MailMate. This would be a so-called blue sky feature :-) And it is very likely that other meta-data is lost (such as format=flowed and use of Markdown). In general: I continue to recommend not using the digest format (unless you only read emails and never write). Note that threads of no interest can be muted (?Message ? Mute?) which means that any new messages are automatically moved to the same location as the muted parent. (But that is also going to break when someone replies to a digest.) > I haven't played with that much but when I CopyasLink I get a message > URL in my clipboard like this: > > message://%3c201112100021.asdfasdf at asdferasdasef%3e > > and then clicking that opens the message even if I have subsequently > Archived it or saved it to another folder like a yearly archive > folder. Just to confirm: This works no matter where the message is located. The only problem can be if a duplicate of the message exists. The value used in the URL is simply the `Message-ID` header of the message. It could also be stated as: message://<201112100021.asdfasdf at asdferasdasef> It is, by the way, used by Apple Mail which is why I use by default, but it is essentially the same as the standardized [`mid:` URL scheme](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2392). MailMate supports the `message:`, `mid:`, and `cid:` URL schemes. -- Benny -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
