Tixy,

In
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2010/02/author.html
or
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2010/02/author2.html
or
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2010/02/author3.html
depending on when the reader opens the page,
are messages from peasthope and messages from
Peter Easthope. The messages from Peter Easthope
were sent by the Shaw Web based mailer.

When a message was created by clicking the Reply button
in that mailer, a correct In-reply-to parameter was included.
No complaint.

The problematic case is where a message in the archive is
read with the browser and then a reply is created by a
click on the Compose button in the Web based mailer.
In that case I can see the Message-id being replied to
but the mailer offers no way to insert it for the In-reply-to
parameter. An example is this message.
"http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2010/02/msg00283.html"
So for most of my messages, In-reply-to was correct.
At least one was faulty.

For comparison, if a reply is created with the NO mailer
any of the SMTP parameters can be inserted manually.
An old message can be read in the archive and a correctly
threaded reply can be created.

I used the mailing list for at least a year before understanding
how this works.

Regards, ... Peter E.
