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

Personally, I'd say the bug is with the likes of Outlook and GMail, for 
relying on an unreliable analysis of the subject line instead of using 
(or even inserting) the headers intended specifically for threading 
messages! But good luck getting anything done about them...

There's nothing the mailing list would be able to do - it just sends on 
the messages it receives. I guess GMane might be able to analyse the 
subjects when displaying threads in its web interface, but then it would 
end up linking messages which aren't related (e.g. every email with a 
subject of "help" would appear as the same thread, regardless of whether 
they're actually different problems and perhaps even sent months apart).

PS. Somewhat ironic that an email about getting a lot of messages on 
this list has generated such a lot of messages... ;o)

PPS. I'm sure some smartarse will point out that it's not actually irony 
but something else; I can never remember the difference...
