Hi, I confirm Karl's reply regarding the headers. The thread is made of the email headers Message-ID In-Reply-To References so as a reference actually In-Reply-To References could be used. The subject has nothing to do with the thread. Some MUAs allow to fall back to the subject, trying to workaround broken threads. A thread is broken, if there should be something fishy with the mentioned headers. My apologies for deforming the subject, but this might demonstrate that the subject is irrelevant, if the thread isn't broken. I disagree with the claim that not all MUAs or even crappy web interfaces don't add the mentioned headers. There might be some exotic exceptions, but usually they are all doing the right thing. Regards, Ralf
