Hi,

I have a mailing list archive that used to run under hypermail 2b29, and recently moved to a different computer and hypermail 2b30. Now, the threading does not work anymore.

If I take a message from the archive, and click [ respond to this message ], that corresponds to the URL, say:

"mailto:boldhsv_at_jobim.colorado.edu?Subject=Re:%20BUG%20FIXED:%20guided%20search%20for%20CTL&In-Reply-To=&lt;3ABB843B.C8D4D127_at_colorado.edu&gt;".

However, when I receive the message, the header is (I have changed the subject):

>From roderick.bloem_at_colorado.edu Fri Mar 23 11:11 MST 2001
Received: from colorado.edu (rbloem_at_localhost [127.0.0.1])

Note that there is no In-Reply-To field! No wonder threading does not work. But how come? Is there something wrong with netscape? I use 4.61. There is no manual for netscape, and I do not know the syntax of the mailto: URL, so I don't know what is going wrong here.

It also seems to be a coincidence that this happened when we upgraded to 2b30. It happens both on pages generated with 2b29 and on pages generated by 2b30.

Do you have any idea what could be going on? I would very much appreciate your help!

Thank you,
