Well, it would be interesting to see some of the metadata that you get
and we don't. I simply haven't seen any "In-Reply-To" or "References"
lines in Karol's postings.

So you're probably threading your emails using the Subject line.
Unfortunately this flawed technique groups unrelated messages together
merely because they have similar subjects, sometimes with ones as
short as "Re:".
