I now understand that bw's mails do not comprise those thread-critical
fields. As an Alpine user myself, I can only wonder how he manages it,
and, more particularly, why he manages it. I guess my slrn news client
(I read the list through an NTTP host) must work it out via the
'Subject:' line (as suggested by Tixy elsewhere), threading acceptably
even in the absence of the missing fields.
Whether this whole business has any relation to the custom lead-in
string in his email bodies is a matter for conjecture.
A bientôt.

The major, who had been a great fencer, did not believe in bravery, and spent
much time while we sat in the machines correcting my grammar. He had
complimented me on how I spoke Italian, and we talked together very easily. One
day I had said that Italian seemed such an easy language to me that I could not
take a great interest in it; everything was so easy to say. "Ah, yes," the
major said. "Why, then, do you not take up the use of grammar?" - "Another Country"
