Dear All, Just a quick one for the benefit of anyone who might be using Thunderbird to send emails to the freebsd mailing lists. Thanks to the postmaster for his/her help on this one. It seems that in order to have your replies to a topic threaded correctly you need to add a second field to your message header block labelled "Reply-To". This can be selected from the drop down list that appears if you click "To" on the left side of a header block entry. (Same as making CC, BCC fields, etc.) On the right side of the "Reply-To" entry, paste the "Message-ID" of the message you wish to reply to. This is present for every message when receiving in the "digest form". (Not sure about receiving messages one-by-one. You might need to go View -> Headers -> All in order to see the Message-ID?) Be sure to include the leading and trailing angle brackets (ie. the less-than and greater-than signs) !! Cheers, Jarrod.
