Because those applications are written by people who do not know what they're doing (*). It's one thing for a poorly written application to not bother to insert headers that the programmer didn't understand, so that further thread sorting fails. But it's another thing, altogether, to go as far as removing important headers that were already there. > Since iam emailing from windows phone, this may break the thread. > Sorry, if it does. It did, no surprises there. * People who write software without adhering to, or even looking up specifications. If you've been doing email, or usenet, for as long as I have, and many others, it becomes readily apparent at just how many user agents are appallingly crap. They get all manner of things wrong, and don't care, "because it works for me." It's one thing to write your own bad software, it's much worse to foist it upon everyone else. And what sort of things do they typically get wrong? There's the threading headers that we've been discussing. Not handling character and/or content encoding properly (incoming and/or outgoing). Having near useless text editors for writing your messages. Quoting previous text in a mangled manner. Not handling mail signatures. Top quoting. And those are just the top few screw-ups. It's a rarity to come across a client that gets it right and is convenient to use. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.8.13-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon May 13 13:36:17 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
