Dear postmasters,


I do not know where to document this and therefore I am bothering you.
Sorry for that.

I just noticed that messages composed using the Web interface of
FreeMail/Web.de [1] as a reply are not threaded correctly. Apparently
they do not set the `In-Reply-To` and `References` header fields
anymore.

This is just another incident of how incompetent the people designing
the new interface seem to be.¹ And FreeMail was once the best email
provider around in Germany.

I hope they will fix this soon as done the last time they broke setups
by just blindly copying parts of the original message header into the
reply [2].


Thanks and sorry for the rant,

Paul


¹ If I said something incorrectly or made false accusations then I am of
course incompetent and I am deeply sorry.
