Just look at them, they go back to beginnings of subthreads at least. With only the In-Reply-To: header, threads would be broken for everyone who´s missing a single message of the thread. With the references, the thread can be displayed even when not all messages are available. > In principle, the list processor could copy the References from the > referenced message and append the id of that message.

How´s the MLM software supposed to know if you refer to articles and to which ones, unless you tell it? >> The message IA'm replying to is correctly displayed as the top of a new >> thread. > > Yes, I intended to start a new thread on "message threading". Hence > the subject "message threading; was Re (3): QCAD Pro in Squeeze". That´s why I´m asking. I think it´s more common to use a new subject when starting a new thread, and it´s more common to change the subject like you did within a thread without starting a new one. You changed the subject as if continuing the thread and made it a new one by omitting the references, and since the thread is about broken threading, it was unclear whether your intention was to start a new thread or to continue the thread with an adjusted subject. If your MUA doesn´t add the right headers automatically, it´s time to switch to a better one :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
