Re: How can I make my reply to be linked within a mail thread?

email at http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2012-03/msg01763.html

When you ask to see a message in "raw text", you see: Message-ID: <000001ccfc22$59706ed0$0c514c70$@guo@arm.com>

Now when you look at Paolo's reply, it has:
References: <000001ccfc22$59706ed0$0c514c70$@guo@arm.com>
In-Reply-To: <000001ccfc22$59706ed0$0c514c70$@guo@arm.com>
(beware that the web page gets a mangled version for antispam purposes, with @ -> at, . -> dot)


So you need to convince your mailer to add those.

I think there may also be ways to ask the mail system to send you some old messages, look through the instructions.
