Can anyone explain why JWZ *doesn't* have the same problem? I don't
see how this heuristic doesn't doom it to the same fate:
The References field is populated from the ``References'' and/or
``In-Reply-To'' headers. If both headers exist, take the first thing
in the In-Reply-To header that looks like a Message-ID, and append
it to the References header.
Given this, even considering only messages 18 and 52 (which "should"
be in different threads), JWZ should find the common "parent"
e.fraga@ucl.ac.uk and link them in to the same thread:
Add 18 (step 1)
- The combined "references" list is <ID17> <e.fraga@ucl.ac.uk>
- Creates and links containers 17 <- e.fraga@ucl.ac.uk <- 18 where the
first two are empty
Add 52 (step 1)
- The combined "references" list is <ID31> <ID32> <ID39>
<e.fraga@ucl.ac.uk>
- Creates and links containers 31 <- 32 <- 39
- Also considers container e.fraga@ucl.ac.uk, but this is already
linked, so it doesn't change it
- Creates container 52 and links e.fraga@ucl.ac.uk <- 52 (step 1C)
18 and 52 will later get promoted over their empty parent (step 4),
but will remain in the same thread.
What am I missing? Or are these other MUAs not using pure JWZ?
