conversation span feature if subject is changed: manual-reintegration

[john99]

Hello,

some of our "mail-partners" do always remove/change the subjet of our mails.

1.
Are such mails still part of that "conversation"?

2.
If not, how can such "out_of_conversation-mails" made manually part of the conversation?


Thank's a lot for your tips,

John

There's an RFE in bugzilla for 'merging' conversations, search for it and vote on it.

Hi Bill,

sorry, but I am unable to find a RFE/bug with the string "merging".
Am I doing something wrong?

Thank's a lot!

Sorry, I should have said 'merge', it's bug 451.

[john99]

ok, i did read RFC 451, but I do not compleatly understand it..


Sometimes recipients do erase the mailbody and change the subject :-(

My question:
Are such returned/answered mails still part of the conversation?
Or is RFC 451 required that such a mail could be re-integrated to the
conversation-span?


Thank for your feedback!

If somebody changes the subject then it's not likely to be part of the same thread. The RFE 451 is meant to give the ability for a user to add other posts to a thread or split a thread into 'parts'. That bug isn't likely to be a high priority as there's only 6 votes for it.

Thank's Phoenix for the feedback! Unfortunately that is exactly too often the case!!

Does that mean, if users do delete the mailbody/content the mails will be
part of the same conversation span?

Thank's!

The goal: Regardless of mail body or subject lines-to merge two emails into one conversation/thread (or split convos/threads) using the web client.
