If these two messages are in the same thread to start with -- for instance, if they are replies to the same message -- won't the responses to them also be part of that thread? However, there is also the case where the two messages are not replies. In that case, there is nothing to tie them together. That is not good. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org, www.gnu.org Skype: No way! That's nonfree (freedom-denying) software.
