I'm using Thunderbird 2.0.0.14 (the latest I think) on Win XP Pro to read this list. I currently have *three* *different* threads which I think should be all the same:

Please, what is happening here? Is this down to
- my Thunderbird
- senders' e-mail clients
- the list management software
- something else; what?

Are others seeing the same effect?

Is there anything I/we can do about it as it's very confusing?

The usual way to get into this is when there's a thread with a bunch of nesting. If you delete the "parent" each of the "children" becomes a new thread, still with the same subject. I don't know anything to do about it but to keep the whole thread, and sometimes they get really huge!


Thank you. That explains it perfectly and I have to say I feel somewhat foolish not to have thought of it myself. I tend to clear out my mail every night. I now understand that new messages arriving for deleted threads create their own "thread names".
