And your simple solution, as you stated in your previous message, is to manually read and thread the messages. Are you the one who is going to read hundreds of messages a day and thread them for all the lists? Would it not make more sense to have the computer hosting the lists do this? If so, how would the computer know how to thread the messages if no In-Reply-To header exists? I suppose that if you are a competent enough programmer, you could code the intelligence necessary for the machine to read all messages and determine where in the hierarchy each should go. Can we look forward to seeing an alpha version of your code soon? Terry has made a valid point that you have not addressed. I think that your personal feelings toward Terry are clouding your thoughts. > Amancio > > > >From The Desk Of Terry Lambert : > > > It is just a distraction from Terry for now just ignore it and > > > concentrate on the real project . > > > > Ignore this: HOW WILL YOU DESIGNATE A MESSAGE'S THREAD WITHOUT > > AN "In-Reply-To:" HEADER? > > > > That's the point of the discussion. > > > > > > Regards, > > Terry Lambert > > terry@lambert.org > > --- > > Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present > > or previous employers. > > > Frank -- Only in America can a homeless veteran sleep in a cardboard box while a draft dodger sleeps in the White House - anonymous
