One request.While replying kindly keep the subject line intact so that people (like me, who sort the mails in threaded fashion using the Subject line) may keep track and enjoy the discussion. Your subject line ofcourse relates to your content, but It would be a good (
list) practise I believe. What do you say?
Please thread using message-id. Gnus threads incoming mail correctly -
please try using it. Anand Babu and RK Muthukrishnan have already shared their .emacs and .gnus.el files here and it should help to get started. This way, the archive indexes at http://mm.gnu.org.in/pipermail/fsf-friends/ are easier to refer in the future.
Thanks for pointing me to that! Yeah, I see that Message Ids can be used. ( Will be figuring it out with Outlook Express and Evolution)
But for the Mahesh. T.Pai's solution of using X-BeenThere header;it points to fsf-friends@gnu.org.in to mails in the list. I doubt if it can help in conversional track of the messages. The Message ID for that matter has some <number>@<yourisp> and has some logic of tracking. ( what logic?) If its simple leave it to me :), if it interesting, why not share across?
Regards, Senthil

I did not speak about threading, but about filtering. you said you use the subject line to filter mail. I gave a better way to filter them.
For more info on *threading* algorithm, see our archives; or google for `threadding mozilla'.

Probably Mailman developers have the correct answers. Mailman could be configured in several ways, and the number looks like an id with timestamp.
