Thunderbird shows threaded mails. But chain-reply-to does not seem to work, or may be thunderbird is not showing as expected or my understanding is wrong. In Thunderbird I see as follows: >> first email subject: [mystring] Feature 01 >> patch 01: |_ [mystring] [PATCH 01/02] My commit msg 1 >> patch 02: |_ [mystring] [PATCH 02/02] My commit msg 2 Both patches are seen as response to first email. Below is the Mail header when I do chain-reply: Lets say, First Mail: Message-Id => <Message-ABC-1> after git send-email, the header for the patches is as follows: Patch 1: Message-Id => <Message-Git-1> In-Reply-to => <Message-ABC-1> References => <Message-ABC-1> Patch 2: Message-Id => <Message-Git-2> In-Reply-to => <Message-Git-1> References => <Message-ABC-1> <Message-Git-1> * Do the above headers look as expected & correct? If yes, then my thunderbird is not showing properly or my understanding is wrong. * Why in Patch 2 "References" <Message-ABC-1> prepended? (That should not be the case in chaining.. am I right?)
