Panos sent a message to the list and his header contained the following
fields:
Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: Re: Why is RH9 slower than Windows98SE. Any advice?
From: Panos Platon Tsapralis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: RedHatList <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
When Any posted, he used a message in the thread above as his starting
point, erased the body, changed the subject, but look below, the
References still point to the Message-Id field above.
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
From: Andy Myers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: redhat-list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hence when an e-mail client displays a threaded view Andy's message will
be burried down in the middle of the wrong thread which can be
unfortunate for Andy for if no one is interested in the "real" thread
Andy's message may never get read by anyone.
