Hi :)

evolution 3.16.1, POP account

If threading is broken because neither 'In-Reply-To', nor a 'References' is in the header, then 'Fall back to threading messages by subject' doesn't group all messages with the same subject in one thread.

Discussed on the mailing list

https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2015-May/thread.html

by the 'View Group By Threads'. The first post is

https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2015-May/msg00070.html

I noticed it when rereading another thread.

"Re: [Evolution] GPG Auto download pub keys, James Lay
<Possible follow-ups>
Re: [Evolution] GPG Auto download pub keys, pitt hoessler"

The archive of May 2015 add the "Possible follow-ups" comment to the broken thread.

Regards,
Ralf

Thanks for a bug report. Works for me, the only trick is that the option change is not propagated immediately, it's required to move away from the folder and back. (It's not enough to turn off and on again the threading in the folder.) Of course, whole evolution re-run is the safest bet.

Could you verify it's the same for you, please? If it is, I will change this bug report to fix this instead.

Let's assume no news is good news. Feel free to reopen if you can reproduce.
