This is interesting ... I'm sure I have been guilty of this myself in the
past - however I am not sure how or why this happens.  Is there some hidden
"threading" feature that messes up the subject lines that I do not know
about?


I am using entourage and I personally have never seen a problem myself ...
Maybe I am not using  some feature? Can you explain what the symptoms are
and why they happen? I looked in the source code of this e-mail and also the
contextual menu choices and did not see any particular commands relating to
threading...?
