Not according to Sylpheed. Both times he started new threads
That's one of the reasons why I dropped Sylpheed early on!
If one has an e-mail client that does real threading, which uses the message-id,
then those messages would have appeared in thread(s), totally unrelated to what
those threads were discussing. This is what happened here.
Since most of the expert help on deb-user, is available from those using e-mail
clients like mutt, then it behooves one to know about responding properly. One
should create a new message, not hit reply and subsitute a new subject (that
keeps the original message-id in the headers).
The reason why they appeared differently for you, is that Sylpheed most likely
only sorts by subject/date, (aka psuedo threading).
