Can I view all posting on a single thread alone? Please do not think I know and I am asking :-) I am just
To some extent, this depends on the client you use.
Email software generate a unique identifier for every message generated; and when somebody replies, addas an `In-Reply-To:' header. A good mail client uses this `In-Reply-To:' rather than subject line to group messages by thread.
Some mail clients (most non-gui based) allow editing of headers; so if you fiddle around with the subject and In-Reply-to: header, it will be possible to split the thread.
For example, those who use a good mail client will show this message threaded as a reply to Ramanraj's message; but see that I have changed the subject, and removed the `RE:' words in the subject line.
If you see this message separate, and starting a fresh thread (of course, a `thread' is formed if somebody else replies to me using a standards compliang client), your mail client is broken, or if you use Mutt, it is badly configured.
