Hi all, I've been trying for some time to get threading to work properly on this mailing list. The problem is that I don't want to thread by subject in all of my folders, because then messages with short subjects like "hi", "hey", etc., in my personal folders will end up together. However, threading by "References", which RFC 2822 says SHOULD be possible, and which works on my other folders, doesn't work well on Haskell mailing lists. Presumably the issue is that there are a large number of Windows users with strange mail clients which don't insert "References" headers. After some weeks of squinting, I've ended up settling with the following partial solution in my configuration files (I use Mutt): set strict_threads=yes folder-hook folders/haskell set strict_threads=no folder-hook folders/libraries set strict_threads=no folder-hook folders/glasgow-haskell set strict_threads=no folder-hook folders/glasgow-haskell-bugs set strict_threads=no I thought I'd share this feature because a lot of people use Mutt and it makes the Haskell mailing lists a bit easier to follow. It isn't perfect, because threads organized by subject are only one layer deep - you end up getting a list instead of a tree, except that since Mutt uses References where possible it ends up being a list of trees, where at the root of each tree is either a reply to the first message of the thread, or someone with a non-conforming mail client. Of course, another problem is the mailing list archives, which also try to organize threads by "References" but fail on these lists: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-users/2005-June/thread.html Thus it seems the list archive software also requires fixing or reconfiguration...
