My reader will parse "Re: XXX" and "XXX" as the same subject, but the brackets and numbers kill this feature. -----Original Message----- From: garym@maya.dyndns.org [mailto:garym@maya.dyndns.org]On Behalf Of Gary Lawrence Murphy Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2001 7:23 AM To: ruby-talk ML Subject: [ruby-talk:23961] Re: ruby-talk:99999 What is the purpose behind those five-digit numbers in the subject line? Messages are already threaded by In-Reply-To and References headers, and don't you find the repeated digit displays just clutter up your subject summary lists? I also find they thwart the Emacs ability to kill an entire thread. -- Gary Lawrence Murphy TeleDynamics Communications Inc Business Innovations Through Open Source Systems: http://www.teledyn.com "Computers are useless.
