If the list adds 13 lines of footer to the messages, perhaps the subscribers can complain to the list owner to have it shrinked down.

1. I'm not sure. I'll post the header though.

2. At the moment I am archiving the group just for my own purposes and the forum is hidden to everyone but myself. If I ever made it public I would likely add the footers back in.

Here are four messages (from a Yahoo group) with the exact same subject line that were not threaded:

I notice the 3rd one didn't even have a message ID or a "In reply to". That's not a typo, I wonder if it has something to do with his AOL client. None of the Message-ID's or In-Reply-To match up.... I guess that is the problem :surprised:
If that's true, would it be possible to thread the posts based on the subject title? Then maybe the post order within the thread could be determined by post time.

Welcome back
