I happen to collect these messages in a database since mid-2005. As a point of comparison, the numbers I get until today for pgsql-general are 3348 messages that appear to be outside of any thread (no "In-Reply-To" field or "References" field that points to it, and subject does not start with "Re:"), the total number of messages being 110233, in 19855 distinct threads.
except for all the people that start a new thread by replying to an existing message, so their new message has a 'in reply to' header....
and the people who reply to digests and leave all kinda garbage headers. and the replies that aren't properly threaded. and.... email is just too chaotic to get useful statistics from. -- john r pierce 37N 122W somewhere on the middle of the left coast -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
