All,

does anybody else experience weird things with thread view of  
comp.lang.ruby (the newsgroup, not mailing list or forum)? I have just  
reported an issue over at Mozilla’s. Details can be found here

All I get is “double posts”, where Thunderbird  
helpfully inserts my sent email into the threaded  
view, and then, of course, adds the ML copy of my sent mail. Still  
haven’t figured out which message to kill on my end so I get a proper  
thread view. 😉

My guess is that this is made worse in newsgroups, due to the gateway  
mirroring the posts both ways, and Thunderbird hiccups on the Message  
ID.

Or something.

I’m still on 2.0 and have never had any problems with the threaded  
view…not sure if that is helpful info or not.

Alas, no. Thunderbird 3.0 introduced “smart folders”, which are supposed  
to make things easier.

IME, they are neither smart, nor make they things easier. 😛

Same here. TB 2.x works like a charm. I deliberately wanted to know  
whether someone has seen the same effects on 3.0 I am seeing.

I also switched them off after an initial trial phase (which was very  
brief). 🙂
