Subject: [sup-talk] split threads?

Hi All,

I was wondering what other people think about an option to split
threads apart (in a similar way to how they can be joined).  A use
case: people that find an old email to a certain address and use it to
compose a reply (after clearing the subject).  This sees a (decent)
mail client insert the References and In-Reply-To headers, etc from
the original thread.  Sup happily uses these to insert this new
message/thread into an old one.

Do others run into this too?

Thanks
-Ben

All the time! I'd love to have this. I'd also love to figure out why
thread joining doesn't work, half the time.

For me (ok, I'm still using sup 0.5 because debian gem won't update to
0.6) thread joining works until you exit sup. i.e. the join-status
isn't saved back to the message index.

Although I haven't tried joining threads since updating to 0.6, I
experienced the same behaviour you describe.  It's not persistent, but
it always word well during a session.
