They're broken. The in-reply-to header determines threading in email, going back as far as RFC 822.
I know, but for some reason whatever email client some people are using, they aren't changing the in-reply-to header correctly. Thunderbird takes an intelligent guess at how to thread it, by using the email subject.
What is even more annoying is when people hit reply to an existing email, and start a completely new discussion (and it is then threaded in reply to an existing topic). I can't win, can I? :)
In addition, it seems that email clients ignore the in-reply-to header, the references: headers, and so on and so forth.
Oh, and I keep getting tab characters in the subject line.
So it isn't an issue of the mailing lists stripping them? since we seem to be having the same issue at helpdesk-l of the reply-to headers being stripped.
