[time-nuts] List Threading Behavior?

[Justin Pinnix]

Looking at recent instances of thread-breaking tells a different story:

X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 7.1.0.9
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20110929
Thunderbird/7.0.1
 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.21)
Gecko/20110830 Thunderbird/3.1.13

While these mailers are all running on Microsoft OSes, none of them are
actual Microsoft products.

Thanks,
