Hi Don,

each message from you to the Boost list is shown as a separate thread by my 
mailer (KMail), and my NNTP reader (KNode). That makes following the mailing 
list rather hard. Apparently, the problem is that messages from you contain 
in the headers something like:

    In-Reply-To: 6667

and '6667' is not a valid message id. The 'References' header appear to be 
empty as well.

Is there any change that you'll use a mail or NNTP client which does not break 
threading? On Windows, Thunderbird is known
to work. On Linux, pretty much every mailer works fine, Thunderbird and
KMail being two examples. You can also use gmane.org for posting.

Thanks,
Volodya
