I know, I know - you don't like email :) But nevertheless:
You seem to be using REBOL to send email (your mails do not contain an
X-Mailer header, but an "X-REBOL: Link 1.0.5.3.1 http://WWW.REBOL.COM"
header).
Now if you would add a very simple functionality to your mailing
reblet, those of us using mail clients with threading functionality
would really benefit.
Your mailer does not send an "In-Reply-To" header in mails that are
replies to other mails. There are clients that make use of this header
to enable a nice, threaded view mode. Adding that header is rather
easy: if you reply to message A just read the value of the
Message-ID
header of message A and use that exact value for the
In-Reply-To header. Example follows.
-- snip --
Message A:
Message-ID: <[web-112615--compkarori--co--xy]>
Message B, an reply to message A:
In-Reply-To: <[web-112615--compkarori--co--xy]>
-- snap --
Just a suggestion :)
