       ah, so that's a difference  ;-)

       I started automatically clicking on 'forward' to avoid all those
extraneous additions
         (as the >>>>>>>s) to clean up the messages  ;-)

         so I guess, mine are threaded by gmail's system without these
inner codings, huh  ;-o

       Thanks for teaching me something new re. these machines;
          I really so appreciate the days in which I learn something new.

Hi :)
+1
to everyone so far :))  Thanks Anne-ology! :)

I get the impression that some email-clients, maybe Thunderbird, ignores
the words in the subject line and uses something from the coding in the
headers (which are usually hidden).

I know that Forwarding an email "breaks it out" into a new thread but i've
not tried breaking it out in this way but then using the same
subject-line.  I imagine that differnt email-clients would handle that very
differently from each other.


Anyway the point i was making was that Rob Jasper's point about
Conversations / Threading was "spot on" and i'd totally missed it in my
previous post.
Regards from
Tom :)

On my email client (OSX std email client) it does.
That doesn;t seem to happen very often, though.

      well said.

      One thing that bothers me re. this threading,
         is that if the subject line is changed in any way, it starts a
new thread.

Hi :)

Most email clients have such threading.  Thunderbird, Claws and Evolution
do.  "The Bat!" (for Windows) does.  Gmail is not really an email client
as
you tend to create a new email address to use it, but it does the
conversations/threading thing by default too.

Hotmail (that's an MS one right?) and Microsoft Outlook and Yahoo don't.
Well, Yahoo might by now but the Micorosoft ones haven't caught up with
the
rest of the world yet.

I found that moving from unthreaded to threaded was a HUGE help.  Before
that i'd been struggling with every single email!!  A complete nightmare.
Now i can see the whole thread/conversation and which issues have already
been dealt with and which issues could maybe do with a bit more work.
It's
drastically cut the amount of emails i write :))

As with any new system it took me a while to work it out and a little
longer to really start benefiting from it.  Much the same as when i took
a
touch-typing course, initially my speeds plummeted but quite soon after i
was really glad i'd made the switch.  When i finally managed to get all
my
emails being pulled into my GMail account it really "polished off" my
migration.  At first i "kept all the email on the server" so they were
still in Yahoo and being duplicated in GMail but once i was confident
(took
me about a week) i switched that around so that they get deleted from
Yahoo
if they make it into GMail.  I still have my Yahoo account but i rarely
ever even sign into it except to change the password and just check.

I'm not saying this to advertise Gmail.  Many, many email systems have
this
functionality.  The main thing is to move away from total reliance on
Microsoft ones by using any of them.

I suspect that a lot of Alexander's problem with this mailing list is
that
he is still stuck on Hotmail.
Regards from
Tom :)

reading with my standard iMac email client set to "organize by
Conversation", and this bundels all mails of one thread into one entry,
so,
after the discussion tread calmes down (does not pop to the top of my
unread email list anymore) I just delete the whole thing in one go.
I'm sure other mailers have the same functionality.

Just my solution, but it works for me :-)

Regards,
Rob.
