Got it.
Writing as list owner:
>My email reader has problems keeping the list messages properly threaded.
>There are two reasons for this:
1) Your reader ignored the (In-)Reply-To: headers.
2) You reader is overly literal on threading by sibject.
>1. Appending "[MUD-Dev]" to the subject, and
Which is, theoretically a constant. All messages have it prepended, so it
should not register a change.
>2. The number of spaces between the "[MUD-Dev]" and the subject is not
>constant.
Actually its worse than that. Certain mailers used by members insert
extra spaces, some insert TABs. Steward processes them all, blindly.
>To add insult to injury, some subjects get truncated, embedded spaces
>multiply, etc. (switch to a fixed width font):
The truncation is the fault of severely broken mailers which ignore the
RFC's statements on handling line length. I also note that they all seem
to be Windows based.

Ignoring the mailers which don't generate In-Reply-To: headers (which we
have thankfully few of on the list), In-Reply-To is the way to thread.

Noted. Yup, this should be done.
Unfortunately nothing is going to happen very quickly. I'm on a new
contract at SunSoft, and have a boat load of work that I have to get done
before a deadline in a fortnight.
Progress from there rests on a decision I'm going to be making as soon as
I get a chance, (I've got another kid due in a few more weeks as well, so
all bets are off). I'm considering the possibilities of moving the list
to a different list processor as the home LAN here changes. Steward has
served as well, but there are certain aspects that I really dislike about
it from an administration viewpoint (such as its handling of bounces). It
may be time to move on.
Aside: If any of you have experience with other list processors, please
email evaluations to me directly. I'm looking at a slew of possibilities
from (major/petit)domo, proclist, on down.
>Thanxalot!
Welcome. Sorry if I've been a bit curt -- gotta go run and fight with a
firewall.
