If sometimes I do not use a subject, I have my reasons and they are good for me, If you think about it, I'm sure you will find some good reasons for, sometimes, avoid a subject. So please no advice on good manners or etiquette :)<br><br></div>2) I expect a mail client which answer my need, I'm not going to put a subject where I did not put a subject before, just because Clawsmail need it to sort emails. I'v never seen a webmail or a mail client which absolutely need a subject to manage the threads.<br>Thank you for the idea of using label/tags but I feel like it's too much work for me just to have my emails sorted, it should be native.<br></div><br></div>4) When I create a thread, I just write a new message and send it to somebody. I thought also that each thread has a thread number, but it does not seem to be used by clawsmail to sort emails (that's why I wrote that my emails were sorted just "by date/subject"). The problem is the same for sorting my old "no subject" emails, sent from my webmail in the past.<br><br></div><div>Augustin<br></div><br><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2015-09-30 18:23 GMT+01:00 Thomas Taylor <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:linxt@comcast.net" target="_blank">linxt@comcast.net</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5">On Wed, 30 Sep 2015 16:39:46 +0000<br>

</div></div>Since sorting is based (in part) on subject you could start using a subject.<br>
That would allow the recipient to know what the message is about (good<br>
manners/etiquette on a mail list).<br>
<br>
You could possibly assign some kind of label/tag to each recipient (i.e.;<br>
persons initials).<br>
<br>
QUESTION: How are you starting a new message thread? Are you starting a new<br>
message thread from scratch (ctrl-M) or just reusing an existing thread and<br>
changing (deleting) the subject? If reusing, be aware that a "thread" has a<br>
thread number which is used along with the subject for sorting, In that case a<br>
message to a different person/list would still have the same thread number and<br>
with no subject would all sort to the same folder.<br>
