        My mail client (XFMail version 1.3) screws up threads
in both this and the PostgreSQL newsgroup folders. The latter
mail list uses embedded newsgroup names. I haven't noticed much
difference.

        For the record, I like the embedded newsgroup names, but I
can live without them. I tend to build mailboxes for particular 
subjects, and use filters in the mail client to place incoming 
messages in those folders. Having the group names in the subject 
makes it easier to figure out which messages I want to read.
