Actually, afaiU, there is one more step involved. Replying in thread works only with MIME digests, not plain text. It is a separate option in the mailman settings page.
This is true, however I'm assuming this list's digests are MIME -formatted.
Only if you request them as MIME-formatted. The list can send plaintext digests as well. Not sure what the default is (if there is a default... I don't use digests :-p ). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - "The Schizophrenic: An Unauthorized Autobiography" - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
