Clients that rely on the subject to determine if it a new thread are broken. In fact, if you looked the headers of your email you will see a line like this message-id: <757360.51350.qm@web57910.mail.re3.yahoo.com> my client takes that line and make a reference to it like this. references: <757360.51350.qm@web57910.mail.re3.yahoo.com> it will also create a new message-id: line. something like this. message-id:

<d8269d910705181310k1f1416efq8ef7b77e793d77b6@mail.gmail.com>

if anybody replies to my message, the process is repeated. Real, non-broken, email clients rely on the above lines to determine

how

messages belong to one another. Again, it has nothing to do with the subject line. Look at the subject line of this message.

If the email client started a new thread for my last message, then your email client broken.

       Sounds like a Jeff Foxworthy joke...

Ok, so gmail is broken, lets spam google :) Tijnema Google doesn't deserve to get spammed, GMail is a great client. I use it myself for personal mail. They just need to fix the algorithm that determines what is a continued thread and what is a new message. Mostly what happens to my GMail account, is that it groups messages together, that truly have nothing to do with each other.

Never had any problems like that, only that it doesn't continue with the old one. Anyway, it works a lot better than Megasoft Outlook or such, they don't group anything... Tijnema
