OT:Newsreader broken

[Jethro_uk]

anyone suggest a reason why all of a sudden my replies are appearing in new threads ?

git://git.gnome.org/pan2)

Well thats Linux innit, Its the same name as a code writing tracking system. No idea..

Perhaps you have been infected by a mole from Outlookexpress on Windoze.

What newsreader is it?

Whatever one it is, follow the relevant method to unsubscribe from the group(s), delete stored messages from your hard drive, re-subscribe and start again.

Never used Pan on Gnome, but as your replies are seen as fine by me, it might not be what you send but the way Pan is reading your replies when you view them??

Also suddenly appearing in different threads to me, using Firefox.

it's PAN under xfce.

It's weird ... I haven't changed any config settings. I've used PAN for a couple of years with no problems.

I wonder if my ISP has done something ...

[Mentalguy2k8]

it's always worth checking Google groups via a web browser, to see if your posts actually are turning up in the wrong places:

If not, then it's either your news provider or your software. Can you post the subject and time of a particular post that's in the wrong place? I can check in my own newsreader with eternal-september and Virgin if that's any help.

I'd certainly suspect virginmedia rather than PAN...

Hmm, shows in thread ... maybe cleaning PAN out is required :(

Many thanks (thumbs up :) ) , but it looks like it's my end

:( Buggeration.

[Mentalguy2k8]

I gave up on Virgin's news service, I think they stopped supporting it officially. It got worse and worse and I switched to eternal-september.

[Jethro_uk]

I tried ES, but they don't support moderated groups ...

[Mentalguy2k8]

I didn't know that, I can read moderated groups via ES but I've never tried posting to them.

[Nightjar]

Indeed. My excuse is old age.

I know nothing at all about Pan, but all your messages which splinter from the proper thread are lacking a "References:" header.

[John Rumm]

Its not injecting a references: header into the messages...

[John Rumm]

Its not that old, only up to version 20 odd ;-)

[Mark]

it is but not all the time?

[John Rumm]

That is the references line added by my newsreader. You will note it is also the same as the "in reply to" header, which suggests that the post I am replying to did not have its own references line and this is why it was being treated as the start of a thread.

[Bernard Peek]

It can happen if you reply to a message that has been posted using Google Groups. Google doesn't properly handle threaded conversations and doesn't include the header information needed for proper threading.
