No idea what email system you are using, but the headers on your mail
are
References: <address@hidden>
<address@hidden> <address@hidden>
and when following that, one gets to my reply, Tim's posting, and then
an inaccessible message since my mail system never got to see the
digest. The In-Reply-To: header chain does just the same thing. So I
have no idea how your email system would figure out just what mail Tim
had been replying to. The information is just not there in the headers.
