change capitalization of somebody else's subject.
I assume this is because some message in
the chain is gone or the parent of the thread is gone (I don't know how
the the threading algorithm works, but I assume it's based on the
In-Reply-To header)
--- The subject was changed (apparently capitalization counts!)
From the help text:
"Mail uses special headers in each email message to determine if a
message belongs to the same thread. If these headers are not present,
the subject is used to determine if a message belongs to the thread."
Is there a way to artificially "reconnect" a thread
that's been lost?
--- I don't think so. You can't edit a received message (this is a good
thing, usually).
