My messages still thread when I just use my normal settings, so why do I want to use a different domain in the mid, you may ask. The practical reason is that it allows me to create a Virtual Folder in TB that shows the threads I am involved in (as long as everybody uses an email client that threads properly, for example TB!). The other reason is that some people interpret the RFCs so that a message ID should only use a Fully-Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) that the user owns. This is especiallly important in newsgroups. I don't own GMX.net, so there is a theoretical possibility that someone creates the same mid with their message as I do with mine. On the usenet, this can create problems. I argued earlier that it is very improbable that someone creates the same mid as I do, but for me, it's a matter of easily creating the VF mentioned above. I think that TB should allow creating mids with a manually pre-defined domain. -- Cheers, Thomas.
