I've been thinking... Couldn't something be done like: 1 Find In-Reply-To header 2 Search for on the line 3 Check to see if blah is a valid existing reference - Yes: use it - No: go back to 2 and continue search. 4 none matched, bail as normal and collect into dummy, or whatever the default is set to. Right now, it is just taking a predefined location for the reference header, which frequently is wrong due to email addresses, etc, confusing it. Can't we compare against known existing message ids before using it? Just a thought... -- "Ninjas aren't dangerous. They're more afraid of you than you are of them."
