Re: A question on how much of my list messaging is considered inappropriate content for the lists I post to?

Can we ask Mark to please reconsider his posting habits and to
reply to the correct individual messages, offering our help with
configuring his software to facilitate correct threading?

I have used three approaches:

1. Set up a server-side filter rule that puts all messages to
   and from a mailing list into a dedicated IMAP directory.
   That way, threading is preserved, the messages are out of the
   way of my main INBOX, and digest mode is not required, so
   that I can review individual messages and reply to them as
   needed.  I was using Gmail filters, but they may be set up
   with other e-mail providers, and even locally (procmail,
   Sylpheed filter rules, &c).

2. Locate the individual message in the archive, take the
   Message-ID: header form it, and append it to the References:
   header of my reply.  Good clients will you do that.

3. Use Gmane for both reading and posting (as I am doing now).
