Re: [Evolution] a few quick Qs

No, no sorting is expected freom the contents of th emailboxl.

The main criterea used for threading is the messages 'in-rely-to' and
'referendes' headers.  After thats all done, the sorting is based on the 
sent-date.  So yesl, this could be a bit out, since the sent date
depends on the sender having the correct offset from gmt int he
email.

The last criteria used is the subject.  So i find it very unliklely
that you are getting genuinly wrong threaded messages (its using the
same algorithm as used in netscape 3).
