It seems like gmail uses "subject" for threading the conversations. Kmail uses something else (i guess, In-Reply-To). Not just that, when you change the subject line when replying to a thread/conversation using gmail, it "removes" the In-Reply-To header; as a consequence any MUA ( i think) will get that messsage wrongly threaded. So, to me it seems like a problem with gmail's mailing system rather than MUA at the reading end... To prove the point (hopefully!), my next mail on this thread (using gmail) will have a modified subject line, check if the In-Reply-To header is removed, or whether it is threaded in a proper way with whichever MUA you use at your end..OK, heres I am "replying" to my own mail from gmail, after editing the subject line...indeed the threading is broken here in mutt. And you're right, the In-Reply-To header is gone. looks like gmail is broken there. AThis might be getting out of hand and a futile exercise in the end. But one last time, let me add a modification...This mail, with re-edited subject is being sent from Kmail using smtp.gmail.com pop server. I am hoping that the In-Reply-To header will remain with the mail and a "decent" MUA (like KMail, mutt, Evolution, ...) will be able to thread it properly (ie, not a new thread). But those of you who are reading it using gmail will see this as a "new thread/conversation".No more mails on this issue from my side. I will have broken my own agenda twice now!!
This time by Icedove and sent using my ISPs SMTP server.Your threading worked fine from here tho, so this looks like 2 threads, anyone using outshite express care to test?
