How does one see the in-reply-to: header? When I "show details" I never see
that one.

I run a mail server here at the house (that's me at the front of the thread
you posted here), but it's "canned" so I haven't done most of the setup. I'd
like to understand more about mail headers -- especially so I can attempt to
figure out who is sending SPAM pretending to be coming from my domains.

A pointer to a document would be useful as would any commentary.

     And  so  it  was pretty simple to filter on messages from Chris and
     delete the
     In-Reply-To   header  on  all  incoming  messages.  Now  everything
     threads
     properly.
