Hi,

When I reply to a post, it generally appears as a separate thread,
rather than branching off the original post.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Individual messages have a "Message-ID" header; for example, your message has this one:

Message-ID: <b7bfe54e0912011848n130c22a6g8d7da8c4ca505...@mail.gmail.com>

Your mail client (or the archive one) performs threading based on clues in the header, including ones like

References: <4b159316020000cb00056...@medicine.umaryland.edu>
        <4b159317020000cb00056...@medicine.umaryland.edu>
        <4b159317020000cb00056...@medicine.umaryland.edu>

and

In-Reply-To: <4b159317020000cb00056...@medicine.umaryland.edu>

(from a different message). Your problem is that because you are using the digest, you aren't inserting those headers (or perhaps yours refer to the digest, not the individual message), so the clients don't realize your messages are replies.

There may be ways to trigger the threading without knowing the message ID, because sometimes message IDs in References are not right. For example, the References list that I posted was from John Sorkin's reply to you, which my client correctly threaded even though it refers to a different message ID than yours (presumably something local to his system).

Noting I am currently receiving a couple of the lists in digest form.


kind regards
