Hi,

I am trying to send a thread of patches to a mailinglist but the e-mails do not show up as one thread in some mailclients. Gmane shows the patches nicely in one thread [1], but Thunderbird shows all of them _except one_ as a thread. E-mail [PATCH 02/31] does not show up in the thread but beside it. The CC-ed emails which arrived in my inbox do not appear in one thread either, half of them do end up in one thread, the other half don't. This is possibly (most likely?) a Thunderbird problem as the e-mails appear alright in Mutt, but I was wondering if other people had noticed similar problems with Thunderbird+git-format-patch+git-send-email and if they might have some workarounds. Or, if someone might notice that I am just using incorrect parameters for both commands.

These are the commands I used: git format-patch --thread --attach -n origin..or2 git-send-email --no-chain-reply-to --to ffmpeg-devel@mplayerhq.hu --from takis.issaris@uhasselt.be --subject "[PATCH 00/31] Various Doxygen related patches" --suppress-from --compose 00*patch

With friendly regards, Takis
