Is it me, or have Templot forum emails lost their threading info since some time yesterday? I installed Thunderbird 3 yesterday so at first I thought that was the problem, but other email groups are still threading correctly, as is usenet. It's only the Templot stuff that doesn't thread. Has anyone else noticed this? There's always been a problem where the first post in a topic sits in one thread and all the replies sit in another, but now each email sits in its own "thread" |

Hi Kenneth I actually meant the emails, not the web forums! Cheers |

Paul Boyd wrote: Hi KennethHello Paul, So did I. I don't know why I got onto Firefox. A seniors moment I guess. I am still on Thunderbird version 2.0.0.23. Looks like your change to 3 did it. As you mentioned before Templot threading has never been quite right. ken |

Has anyone else noticed this?Hi Paul, Unlike email groups and usenet, the original Templot Club content is not posted by email. Consequently there is no thread reference information to pass on in the outgoing email headers. I will see if the topic ID number can be included as a thread reference. But your email program should be able to thread based on the subject lines instead. Nothing has changed at this end, so if your program is now behaving differently it would seem to point to the program upgrade. regards, Martin. |

Hi Martin Yours and Kenneth's replies make sense. It does seem as if it's TB3 that's caused it, but I wondered why it was only the Templot emails that were affected - now I know! TB2 must have been threading them based on subject line, and TB3 isn't (or there's a setting that's changed). TB3 has also lost the very useful shortcut Ctrl-Shift-C to mark a whole folder as read. I'm beginning to wonder why I upgraded Cheers |

Ah-ha! There are some settings in the config file that have changed defaults. If anyone else is interested, the following need to be changed: mail.correct_threading false mail.strict_threading false mail.thread_without_re true This puts threading in Thunderbird 3 back the way it was in TB2. The first post is still unthreaded though! |

Paul Boyd wrote: The first post is still unthreaded though!Hi Paul, The probable reason is that the "re:" part on replies is not the first thing on the subject line: First post subject line: [Templot Club] How many fish in a kettle? Reply subject lines: [Templot Club] re: How many fish in a kettle? If I can change that to re: [Templot Club] How many fish in a kettle? It will probably thread correctly. But would that be a welcome change to the subject line? regards, Martin. |

Hi MartinIt will probably thread correctly. But would that be a welcome change to the subject line?I wouldn't worry about it! Now I've worked out how to get TB3 to thread by subject, it isn't really a problem. By the time I'm interested in any replies, I already know what the thread is about. I can't help wondering why the default behaviour was changed though, especially as it involves going into the config files where the message "Here be dragons!" is encountered - I kid you not! |
