I think that explains why every message from him starts a new thread 
(also with subtlety different subject lines). At least he edits his 
subject so that it doesn't read "Re:[Gimp-user]  Digest ....". I don't 
know any way to maintain threading when participants are receiving 
digests and this is why I always request individual emails. GMail does a 
slightly better job of keeping things together but it shows 5 "threads" 
with respectively 9, 1 (this one), 32, 25 and 18 each.
