I haven't been following this discussion thread closely of late but would like to understand how and what emails, clients, headers, gmail and faults or not with browsers has to do with "Why some say "rpm hell". I seem to have missed a step.
The thread diverged, and nobody changed the subject line. I think it just petered out with an explanation of what "RPM hell" was, and how it's not unique to RPM.
If your mail client does threading, you could collapse this thread, and walk back up its heritage until it split off. And you could follow just the original thread, keeping this tangent hidden out of the way.
You can't do that when someone stuffs up the threading headers. All the replies just get thrown in a mess on the floor.
I can't think how the problem poster is doing this, other than by being deliberately annoying.
