I am struggling a bit with the [qx] definitions. Please help

newnews.pl leaves a dummy zombie job active each time it has run! Please help


Btw FF, there is a way to link the posts more accurately... I do not know the code but have seen the opportunity. Some posts seem to detach themselves from threads but are clearly part of an existing thread. ( I like to avoid pruning )

current linking

Subject Thread 1
Re: Subject Thread 1 post 1
Re: Subject Thread 1 post 2

seems to be the general rule, however, multilingual news/mail clients can use a different prefix eg :

AW: Subject Thread 1 post x (I think these are handled - German) but seen some stray ones

Fw: Subject Thread 1 post z ( i've seen a couple sneak through here)

Antw: Re: Subject Thread 1 post y (Antw: = Reply in Dutch, I think you can strip that off as standard)

These are just comments, if you do see the opportunity and you feel it is relevant .. please.

I picked these examples from here (currently reloading)

The subject is not used in these examples. The messages are threaded according to the 'References' field in the article header. The examples you are showing are simply where people are not using their news clients correctly and are starting a new thread to answer an existing thread.
