Perfect. Thank you Paul. A decade plus of using claws and I never
knew how to do this :/
Semantics... By 'thread' my ancient brain actually meant 'conversation'
I suppose, i.e. a series of messages from two people questioning /
answering each other by replying to each other (and without editing the
message(s) they are replying to). IOW, a message 'thread' contained
within a single actual final email, rather than multiple separate
messages such as might be the results of a mailing list 'thread'.
Probably should have just said 'email' rather than 'email thread'.
Excuse the terminology confusion.
Thanks again!
