For more info check http://cr.yp.to/immhf/thread.html My original mail had : Message-ID: <45D9739B.5020906@yahoo.gr> and you reply to my email had: Message-ID: <45D979B3.1010003@gmx.net> References: <45D9739B.5020906@yahoo.gr> In-Reply-To: <45D9739B.5020906@yahoo.gr> so in a threded mail client (Thunderbird) this appears as a threaded reply to my message. This also explains why some people who start a new topic by replying to an already recieved email, get flamed by users who use threaded email clients :) ----------------------------------------- RTFM and STFW before anything bad happens ----------------------------------------- Thanasis Rizoulis Electronic Computing Systems Engineer Larissa, Greece FreeBSD/PCBSD user
