Each mail message is supposed to have a unique message id. Yours (Doug) has: > Message-ID: <2063a95c041126064548b30f68@mail.gmail.com> When you reply the MUA should put that ID into a header like Darren's does: > In-Reply-To: <2063a95c041126064548b30f68@mail.gmail.com> and references, like below. My email will have > In-Reply-To <200411260933.42251.bulliver@badcomputer.no-ip.com> (Darren's msg id) and both Darren's and yours as references: > References: <2063a95c041126064548b30f68@mail.gmail.com> <200411260933.42251.bulliver@badcomputer.no-ip.com> Etc. Now your MUA should look at those and make up the threads. Check the headers and see if your MUA generates the In-Reply-To and References; if not there's the problem and it breaks threading for everyone; if it does, then it's only a local display problem. -- IOnut Unregistered ;) FreeBSD "user"
