As a test, I appended a couple words to the previous subject line.
If
this causes this email to show up as the beginning of a new thread
to
you, please report that back to us along with the email reader and version you're using. (Of course this is far from a rigorous test,
but
it's the best I can do at the moment.)
Thanks, ken
This discussion makes no sense to me. If the email client is using the subject for threading it is doing something wrong (or you specifically set it that way).
As Ken said, there are headers used to organize the emails.
As for ken's test, it's working fine for me :)
Because of corporate requirements, I use Microsoft Outlook 2007 to read my email. I use View->Arrange By->Conversation to read this forum. Each time someone changes the subject line, it appears to me as a new conversation.
For example, when Ken added "multiple factors", a new conversation was started.
When Marc changed it to "multiplefactors", yet another conversation was started.
So I would appreciate it if people would not mess with the Subject line. On the other hand, it's not really a big deal. I can live with it.
