I post both from the web interface and from Thunderbird, and both don't
seem to break threads.
On the other hand I noticed that gmail makes it difficult to reply with
bottompostings. (it was bottompostings that were supposed to be used on
this list, yes?). Not impossible, but difficult.

Besides the threadbreaking by Phil I also noticed that Leonard
Erickson's (shadow's) mails keep getting filtered by the gmail spam
filter. I am not really sure why, I must have whitelisted his email half
a dozen times already. But of course those break the threads for me as well.
