I thought about this too and this is why I checked for any occurrence of Message-IDs in the other emails: |> I isolated the thread I was interested in, |> extracted the message ids of its messages and greped the rest of |> the messages for this message ids: no matches.[2] Therefore no of |> the rests messages are part of the thread I was interested in perhaps there was a logic error in how I did this: |> [2] grep -I "^Message-Id:" /tmp/thread-I-m-interested-in.mbox |sed -e "s/Message-Id: $//" >really.mid |> grep -I -F really.mid rest.mbox |> --> no match /tmp/thread-I-m-interested-in.mbox is a mbox with messages I'minterested in, the "real" ones. really.mid is a list of Message-IDs of these "real" emails. rest.mbox is a mbox with the other emails, Emacs showed in his notmuch show buffer but are other threads. Since there is no match I concluded, the threads are not linked. Perhaps I made a mistake. I'l retest it and report again. But right now I don't have the time to do this.
