Btw: anyway to get your mailer to not enumerate the replies in the subject? it messes up the threading in Mail.
It actually didn't mess it up on my system (Mail.app Version 2.0.5 (746/746.2)). His reply to your reply shows up in the same thread as both of your replies.
Doesn't Mail.app use the In-Reply-To and References email headers to organize threads?
I think Mail mainly groups based on subjects, spiced with some fuzzy logic, as threading seems to differ slightly from machine to machine -- and it’s really grouping, not threading… :/
This is one of the few things I really dislike about Mail.app. As far as I know, there is open-source threading code that works almost perfectly and is free for any use. For the most part, I just turn Mail.app's threading off now, which is too bad, because threading is really useful when it's done right.
