Display messages like in Gmail (as conversations/threads)?

Hi Wilson,

Is there any way to display messages like in Gmail, that is, as conversations/threads?

Regards,

Michael

Hi Michael,

In the past Yahoo groups messages were not threaded. I know that they're threaded *now* but in the past they were not, which kind of leaves us in a bit of a limbo situation.

For a discussion of threading as it was please read this:

My advice, then as now is :

Best thing is to sort by subject then select the entire thread, right click & choose 'Show selection as Digest'.

Cheers,

Wilson.

It's a first step but I'm looking at pulling in the 'thread' related data such as thread ID and parent message ID.

The second step would be to use that data to display messages as threads.  That will take much longer but at least the data will be retrieved and stored for later use.

Hi Dan,

Yes, totally agree. That's the most sensible strategy.

Cheers,

Wilson.
