Yes, there are those wannabe MUAs such as Outlook, Groupwise and Notes that constantly ignore the existence of In-Reply-To, but that's a different story. My apologies. I forgot that you can thread emails on KMail. All decent mail programs do thread. Thunderbird, Mozilla, Kmail, even text only clients like Pine or mutt. Gmail web client does thread, but it calls it "conversations".
And the archive is threaded.
Even Outlook does thread:
X-Mailer: Microsoft Office Outlook 12.0 Thread-Index: AchZxUFbeX4hpExoQh2zru0l/TqnbgAAC2AA
Although being Microsoft, it uses something else instead of the standard.
I find it interesting that there were more responses on the topic of email

You'll notice that when he started a thread with that topic, he got answers to his question. Whereas in this hijacked branch, he got NO answers to his question.
I'll bet we get about 4 more posts because I top-posted.
Since you deliberately, to act stupid, I'll bet you're right.
Can't we cut each other some slack?
In short - No. Mail list rules are needed. Even as far back as 30 years ago, experience shows that even when the entire membership consists of highly competent doctorate level computer engineers and scientists, without such rules, the list falls rather quickly into complete chaos. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
