[no spam] ramifications_of_tweaks_to_subject_line :) - Was: ramifications of tweaks to subject line

[Ralf Mardorf]

Hi,

I confirm Karl's reply regarding the headers.

The thread is made of the email headers

  Message-ID
  In-Reply-To
  References

so as a reference actually

  In-Reply-To
  References

could be used. The subject has nothing to do with the thread. Some MUAs
allow to fall back to the subject, trying to workaround broken threads.
A thread is broken, if there should be something fishy with the
mentioned headers.

My apologies for deforming the subject, but this might demonstrate that
the subject is irrelevant, if the thread isn't broken.

I disagree with the claim that not all MUAs or even crappy web
interfaces don't add the mentioned headers. There might be some exotic
exceptions, but usually they are all doing the right thing.

Regards,
Ralf
