The answer is to get a newsreader which functions correctly.
That is what Tin does by default, but Tin can sort by references.

Aha! I'm glad that's fixed.

2 References, thread on ''References:'' only.
3 Both Subject and References, thread on ''References:'' then
''Subject:'' (default).

So I think option 2 is the right thing here. Presumably what #3 does is to
group by Subject but use References: correctly within sets of articles
with a common Subject line, like Google Groups.

I gotta say, Jobst, *that* was a good laugh. I needed that.

When it's actually a sub-thread, yes. When it's just a reply, not.

That's a funny way of spelling 'Superior'.

Doesn't it bother you that what purports to be a text editor can read your
mail and news? Literally, actually, and send responses back all without
you even noticing?

I have changed a Subject header only to correct a misspelling.

Not when it's Open Source Software. I'd be more leery of
[back-door goings-on in] certain proprietary applications.


cheers,

Well, it was Freudian slip but I like it.

And, as I mentioned, it was not a misspelling but rather a device used
by Charles Dickens that has made its way into literate circles for its
emphasis.
