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

       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 :)
