Hello Lee,

Of course I've sent the patchset with 'thread=true' config set. It appears our
corporate email server changes the Message-Id field of messages passing through
it. Due to that the emails threading gets to be broken. I'll resubmit the
properly structured v2 patchset as soon as our system administrator fixes
the problem. Sorry for the inconvenience caused by it.

Regards
