I use Mutt for emails. I have threads enabled and I can see that most of the emails are threaded in Mutt. So that is all good. But sometimes I reply to an email and the answer(from other person) to my replied email wont be part of any threads. The thing is that when I reply in Mutt (which I use Vim to edit them), the subject parts keeps getting longer and longer with many "Re"s. That is the case with those emails with missing threads.
I have:
set strict_threads="yes"
set sort="threads"
set edit_headers=yes
I am wondering if this has anything to do with Mutt or the person I am communicating over email.
Could this one be the culprit?
set metoo=yes
Any suggestions?
Great help. Thanks. I did not know that I could relink threads. That was immense help. No wonder Mutt is wonders. Also having multiple tagged emails does not work with & linking. One has to use tag prefixing ; for multiple tagged messages. In any case this is great. Do not forget to apply your changes also ;) – yarun can – 2014-08-22T03:29:16.513
What I do most often is break threads (with
#
). People are used to replying to old messages for completely unrelated issues just for reusing the addressees. BTW, in mutt you can always use esc-E to create a message based on another one. – Juancho – 2014-08-22T15:31:17.170
