Mutt could be sure extended but as I can imagine it is also not perfect as old but still discussed threads clutter new posts. Besides that there are other mailers like VM/Gnus which also may not have thre thread-by-most-recent-reply sorting, not sure. > A separate email with an url means more work for me, as I then have to go > look up the thread in Thunderbird that corresponds to that url, This is why I started to include also Message-IDs besides the URLs. Posting just the Message-IDs is unfortunately insufficient. Looking up the URL from mailer/Mutt is also a pain, I wanted to code some script for Message-ID -> URL mapping but as sourceware server should be replaced ASAP which will replace MHonArc by PiperMail I have not yet coded it; unfortunately the ASAP replace takes already some years. Unfortunately whatever method we find out it always is a pain, the reviewing process should be supported by projects like Gerrit. Until that is tried/established the goal is just to find the least pain. Jan
