[BNM] [OT] moan

[Max Williams]

ahhh...that explains why, for some people replying to threads in gmail,
gmail thinks they've started a new thread, even though the subject is the
same.  I'm guessing gmail uses that system, and the people concerned are
using some email client that doesn't send (or breaks) the In-Reply-To bit.

Is that true, gmail experts?
