In Message-ID: , which for me using Turnpike appears in the Greenhouse thread, in reply to Kay I have the following references header: References: The first is Lorsdsupdz original initial post in the Greenhouse thread, the second is the MID for Kays post in the 'Best plant' thread. This certainly looks like an error on the part of Gardenbanter posting system Different people are experiencing different "results" so whilst we must all agree that whatever happened was somewhere "out there", we also need to agree that we'll never work out where that somewhere was. Turnpike puts this message in reply to Kay, as I would expect as it threads on the References headers (a sit does with the replies to it.), unless absent. And obviously uses the most recent reference. Newsreaders which use a different threading algorithm may produce different results when presented with such a malformed header. Those threading solely on subject will probably not see a problem in this situation -- Looks to me like some readers are threading on the first reference, and some are threading on the second reference and thus showing the error. So GardenBanter has caused the problem by adding that second, wrong reference ID (kay.6bb106). Agent must have ignored it, but not Outlook Express. Ian |

It's all much odder than that it seems, Jake seems to have some posts with different references headers to me - I've got a spurious reference to a post in another thread which caused the apparent misthreading (and others such as Vicky presumably). He doesn't seem to for exactly the same post. Which sia ll rather starnge -- Chris French |

Which could suggest that this may be tied in with the way individual services propogate the threads. -- No plan survives contact with the enemy. Helmuth von Moltke the Elder |

In a thread "Can you identify mystery plant tall stem ........" started on 29/07 by "back to the boats" I'm seeing a reply from Sacha (with all the header references appearing to be totally correct) displayed in the listing in Agent as from back to the boats. Anyone else also seeing this little abberation? Jake http://www.rivendell.org.uk coming soon |
