Pkg exim4 users - Jun 2011 - OT: Web.de/Freemail do not set `In-Reply-To` or `References` header fields anymore.

Dear postmasters,


I do not know where to document this and therefore I am bothering you.
Sorry for that.

I just noticed that messages composed using the Web interface of
FreeMail/Web.de [1] as a reply are not threaded correctly. Apparently
they do not set the `In-Reply-To` and `References` header fields
anymore.

This is just another incident of how incompetent the people designing
the new interface seem to be.? And FreeMail was once the best email
provider around in Germany.

I hope they will fix this soon as done the last time they broke setups
by just blindly copying parts of the original message header into the
reply [2].


Thanks and sorry for the rant,

Paul


? If I said something incorrectly or made false accusations then I am of
course incompetent and I am deeply sorry.

Those are the same people who think that a e-mail address MUST NOT
contain a plus sign. ''nuff said.
