Threading by subject can put a message in the right thread, but not at the right position in the thread. It will also sometimes associate a new message with an old dead thread because they happen to have identical subject lines. It's a kludge really. Not having it could be considered lack of a feature but it's not a bug. I'd say the bug is the absence of reference headers. Either Ada-France's gateway removes them or else Randy's Outlook Express supports reference headers for Usenet but not for email. Both seem like rather odd behaviour. -- Bj�rn Persson PGP key A88682FD omb jor ers @sv ge. r o.b n.p son eri nu
