My Rant
Anyone else viewing by thread? It seems some people will create a new message ( and topic) by replying to an existing message. This makes thread view in Apple's Mail useless and sometimes I miss the topics/subject I'm interested in because some users start new messages by replying instead on creating a NEW mail document. From what i can tell, threading depends on REPLY-TO and Message ID of the existing message so if you reply change the subject it'll still be part of the thread that one replies to.

For those that didn't realize this was happening and are willing to change their evil ways: Please create a new message document if your creating a new topic or subject. Do not reply to an existing message.
Thank you!. Try thread view. It is GREAT!

For those that aren't willing to change:
Don't expect a reply from me!  ;)


Thank you.

David Austin
