At least part of the problem is with your settings, Alan. This and all
the other threads where people have complained about a new thread being
created for every post have shown up perfectly threaded on all my
machines in Thunderbird 2.0.24 under XP,using News Individual Net's server.

Very odd - I'm using XP/Thunderbird 3.1.11 (for both this and the
original post kicking off this thread) and on my system Dave's post has
started a new thread... WTF??? Have I got settings wrong somewhere?


No, there is no 'References' line in the Headers, so some (compliant)
newsreaders cannot put it into the thread where it should have been.
If there was a "reference' in the header, all newsreaders can thread it
properly, as it is, some can, some can't.

Alan.
