Description Michael Opdenacker 2021-03-30 16:36:59 UTC 
If you look at https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/docs/topics, you will send that two messages, that according to Nicolas Dechesne and Quentin Schulz are on the same thread, are considered as two different topics:

[PATCH 0/1] YP overview manual: style improvements 
https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/docs/topic/patch_0_1_yp_overview/81724646?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,20,2,0,81724646

[PATCH 1/1] YP overview manual: style improvements 
https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/docs/topic/patch_1_1_yp_overview/81724648?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,20,2,0,81724648

Not critical, but people could miss some messages if they don't realize the two topics are indeed the same.

I hope this can be fixed in the configuration of Groups.io, in the way topics are figured out (based on which mail header is used).

Thanks in advance
Michael.

There is no way for the listserv to thread email with different subjects together as far as I know. Can you describe the desired display in more detail?
Comment 3 Michael Opdenacker 2021-04-02 09:43:28 UTC 
If that's not possible to group messages with a different subject using Groups.io, then forget it. 

I was hoping to group together the messages with a "References" header referring to the same original "Message-Id".

You seem to have this not on https://lkml.org, but on https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/

Anyway, we can continue to live with this!

According to https://groups.io/helpcenter/membersmanual/1/additional-information/understanding-how-group-messages-are-threaded-into Groups.io requires the subject line to match except for certain exceptions like "Re: ".

Please reopen this bug if you'd like me to file a feature request with Groups.io to ignore Subject when threading.

Hi Michael
Thanks for the research.
Let's give up, if Groups.io doesn't support this.
Thanks again
