Can we ask Mark to please reconsider his posting habits and to reply to the correct individual messages, offering our help with configuring his software to facilitate correct threading? I have used three approaches: 1. Set up a server-side filter rule that puts all messages to and from a mailing list into a dedicated IMAP directory. That way, threading is preserved, the messages are out of the way of my main INBOX, and digest mode is not required, so that I can review individual messages and reply to them as needed. I was using Gmail filters, but they may be set up with other e-mail providers, and even locally (procmail, Sylpheed filter rules, &c). 2. Locate the individual message in the archive, take the Message-ID: header form it, and append it to the References: header of my reply. Good clients will you do that. 3. Use Gmane for both reading and posting (as I am doing now).
