Re: [libreoffice-users] Threading

This reply is being sent from my Android phone using MailDroid. I don't think it'll break threading 
except in receiving clients that use the subject for threading like Pegasus Mail for Windows does.

Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Tooo many messages on this mailing list?? How to avoid being 
swamped ...

Not in mail clients which use the Message-Id and References: headers for 
threading. They keep replies in threads regardless of the subject line. 
SeaMonkey (and most likely Thunderbird) do that, as do many others.

MS Outlook seems to ignore the References: header and uses some sort of 
heuristic analysis of the subject line, so changing the subject groups 
messages into a separate conversation. I don't know if any other mail 
clients do that. Seems like a difficult way of doing things, when there 
are standard headers for doing precisely that in a reliable way, without 
unreliably heuristics!

On the other hand, some replies (including yours, here) appear to me in 
a separate thread despite having the same subject, because they don't 
include the References: header. I guess you (and others which do this) 
are posting using MS Outlook or Live Mail, or perhaps a mobile phone / 
tablet app.
