This is, AFAIK, how digest mails are (always?) sent by mailing lists, in the order they were posted. If you dont like it, feel free to subscribe to the non-digest delivery format of the mailing list and let your favourite mail client thread it as needed. Or visit the web archives of the list for yet more views of the same data. You could, of course, contribute code to MailMan to allow for delivery of Digest mails in threaded format. I'm sure you and others will benefit from it. Beto
