Subject: RE: Evolution Functionality
Where I work everybody uses a mail client, and we only use the web interface for checking issues in the client, and even though the organisation has switched to Outlook/Exchange there are still areas of the business that still using Lotus Notes/Domino. regards, SteveTim:I remember in my early days of the internet, Outlook Express was widely despised for breaking threading by not including the necessary headers in the replies to maintain the chain. It just, VERY DUMBLY, grouped messages with same subject, but didn't thread replies with their prior message in any sane order.Patrick O'Callaghan:Threading based on the Subject line is fundamentally broken. Well-run mailing lists use List-* and In-Reply-To headers to keep things straight.And the "references" headers. The in-reply-to headers only associate one reply to the message it replied to. The references header is needed to group all the associated messages together.Unfortunately many MUAs either don't respect these or don't encourage list users to use them, and once the header chain is broken it can't be re-joinedI'm beginning to wonder how many people actually use a mail program instead of a webmail interface these days.
