Oh, and please answer my related post as well -
We are still waiting for substantiation - which you "always" provide - that Forte Agent is a broken newsreader that doesn't conform to the standards for a newsreader.
What standards? I said non-standard, not "not conforming to standards for a newsreader". Why can't you read?
Do you _really_ think that that is an adequate answer?
I have several times asked you to refer me to an RFC or similar which defines what is and what isn't a thread. Don't again point me to section 3.4.4 of RFC 3577 as it does nothing of the sort.That's 5537, and actually it does. It defines the structure of the References header, which is what you refer to as the "sequencing". There is NO sequencing using the Subject header, only via the References header.
WTF? This is the *standard* way it is done, I have just substantiated that by showing many clients and how they do it. I've even gathered even more screenshots since this was posted.Sandman
Here's a screenshot of Unison (that Savageduck is using):<>Note that the post is part of the thread. Here is a screenshot of Thunderbird, which probably is the most used usenet reader:<>Note that the post is part of the thread. Here is a screenshot of slrn, which I am using. It's also an old school and proven client that has been around for ages:<>Note that the post is part of the thread. Here is a screenshot of tin, also a widely used oldschool client that has been around for ages:<>Note that the post is part of the thread. Here is a screenshot of GOogle Groups, which is an even bigger POS than Agent, but actually show threads correctly:<>Note that the post is part of the thread. I would have liked to show you a screenshot from MT-NewsWatcher, my favorite news cliet, that unfortunately isn't supported any longer and doesn't work on the latest version of OSX, but needlesstosay, it displays threads as they should be displayed, like in all the examples above.See - plenty of substantiation. That's how it's done.Eric Stevens
You are a clown if you think that this is a matter which can be determined by a vote of newsreaders of your selection.
But here is how Agent handles it when configured as I prefer.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/31088803/Agent%20Thread.jpgI don't care about Agent. This isn't about Agent - or even any of the aforementioned clients either.
I hope working out how it handles the threading is not beyond you.Yeah, it's a total mess.
