Thakns Tim for the reply. This shows how much I know, not much:-)
I was under the the impression that companies and devs would make it a priority
to write software that would meet all the standards to minimize any problems
like thread breaking; for people who likes to sort their email in a threaded
fashion.

I have never used usenet and I have only used Thunderbird and untill
recently windows phone email client and i already think Windows Phone
email client stinks because it breaks threads. I just began
using Sylpheed on Fedora the other day, well see how that goes.
Thanks again for the reply and explanation.
