To quote from an earlier message on this subject, a fix/workround is to make evolution thread by subject rather than just using the References and In-Reply-To headers. To do this 1. shut down evolution 2. backup ~/evolution/config.xmldb (or the whole ~evolution dir) 3. edit ~/evolution/config.xmldb and set thread_subject to "1" [Source http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/evolution/2002-September/021827.html However I couldn't easily pick up the earlier thread on this which might have more detail] Nigel.
I exited evolution. I made the change to config.xmldb. I started
evolution. It didn't appear to be working. I checked and somehow my
change had been reverted.
I exited evolution again. For good measure, I ran killev. I made the
change to config.xmldb again. I started evo again. It doesn't appear
to be working again. I checked and my change hasn't been reverted
(yet?).
The line in my config.xmldb looks like:
<entry name="thread_subject" type="boolean" value="1"/>
...am I doing something wrong? Am I misunderstanding how it works?
Does it perhaps only work for new messages and not old messages?
I'm using Ximian evolution 1.2.3.
