A mail has 'References:' headers, which give the Message-ID of the message to which you're replying. Most mail programs can then display a 'threaded' view where it's trivial to find the 'parent' message. Some mailers even show the References: header with hyperlinks so you can just click and be taken there. That's the theory according to RFC2822, anyway. Actually, Lorenzo's mail program is broken and didn't include the References: header as it should have done. That's why it was rejected by the mailing list. -- dwmw2
