Wondering if there is some new M$ newsreader out there that won't tie posts
into the original thread so they can be viewed together. Just checking the
first couple of dozen in today's crop there are 15 Re: that have to be back
searched to make any sense, and only 9 that are ordinary posts. Seems a pity to
waste good replies by not aggregating all the information. Too many folks won't
bother with an orphan reply because it is too time consuming to hunt down the
original post.

I believe this is due to the "new and improved" version of Google Groups.
Apparently, Google does not include a "references" header when one of their
users replies to a message.

Dunno' about MS, but I downloaded Gravity (for free) many years ago.
Does threads and more. Do a Google.

MS eats OT: and replaces it with re:, so if your newsreader is
threading on subject rather than thread ID you will get those. MS also
has been poor on normal threading as well, but I thought they had
fixed that.

I use outlook express and under "view" - "current view" I select "group
messages by conversation". All replies get put with the thread that they
are replying to. They even stay with the thread when a poster changes the
subject.
