The threading works just fine. The problem is that users have ignorant mail software that don't set the thread headers correctly. Even newsgroup client software might do this. This is *not* the server's fault in any way, shape, or form.Sure it's not servers fault, knowing that news.php.net is not *real* news server. It is mailing list mirror. News server dont make threads based on subject like mailing list, but based on message header field. News servers are cheaper, faster, easier to use, more accessible, easier to archive than mailing lists. That's why I dont see the point of mailing list being primary to php.net.
