They > are responses, aren't they? I think responses to the what's cooking mails per se should certainly have in-reply-to set properly. I'm rather wondering if there's some specific reasons why do you keep all the "What's cooking" mails in a single thread? If there is nothing particular, keeping each "What's cooking" report in a separate mail might be easier on a portion of readers. I will use break-thread now (thanks, didn't know about it!) but the practice seems strange to me. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis As in certain cults it is possible to kill a process if you know its true name. -- Ken Thompson and Dennis M.
