Hi everybody,
I need some help on using the mailing list.
The problem is that I don't know why my posts
are creating new threads in the mailing list
archives. And I am not sure what the subject
line should be, so the post gets attached to the
existing thread. I use "Re: subject" in the subject
line, but this doesn't seem to be enough (although
I think this used to work)
Part of the problem might be that I choose not to
receive all the mailing list mail in my mailbox.
So I am mostly replying to feeds.
Thanks for your help,
Lieven

This is mostly a thing the mail client should take care of. You seem to
be using thunderbird, which may be doing something stupid. Usually using
'reply to list' should be enough. I don't know thunderbird, it might
have issues displaying replies correctly as well. Most mails you wrote
were displayed correctly for me, but I know that my client 'sup' has
issues when the reply header info is gone and the list ends up in the
cc-field, something some clients seem to do.
Point is, it's a client thing. There might be settings to make it behave
more or less correctly. There might be a 'reply to list' button you
should use.

It's not the subject line... it's this lines in your e-mail
header:
References: <tag:old.nabble.com,2006:post-29241238@localhost.localdomain>
In-Reply-To: <tag:old.nabble.com,2006:post-29241238@localhost.localdomain>
Notice that it has "old.nabble.com" and reference a post on
"localhost.localdomain." In contrast, a normal looking one
is like this:
References: <1279831406-sup-1589@eris>
<655500.56990.qm(a)web51807.mail.re2.yahoo.com> <20100722212424.GD4084@zita2>

No, this /is/ the problem.
However, there should be a way to set up your feeds so that
it produced a correctly formatted e-mail. I've used, e.g.,
thunderbird to reply to ML's via gmane -- and AFAIK it
worked correctly.
