How do you do this? I see the Csound list just as an email list. I can set

Hi Mike,
Some mail readers group message threads not only by subject but by
thread also, so if you hit the reply button instead of creating a new
message, this message even if it has a different subject will be put as
a reply to the thread.

Cheers,
Andrés
