Good idea to get a recommendation of mail readers that do threading well.
I use Eudora, but it only allows you to sort on the Subject
line, and if a mail agent (such as the one being used by Roger) drops
a space between the Re and the subject, it doesn't even sort under the
replies.
Also each reply has to echo the Subject line, and so gives no hint of
what the user's reply is about, e.g., he agreed, disagrees, is talking
about one small point or the whole message, etc. I have been adding
a comment inside [] after the subject to indicate what I want to say.
It would be real nice if mail readers did threads based on some id,
rather than the subject line itself.
Sounds like Keith Moore might know of some readers that thread well, Keith?
Thanks,
Tom
