> Yes, some make use of Thread-id a bit better than other Traditional email threading was based on the contents of the In-Reply-To and References headers. The algorithm is described in RFC 5256 for the IMAP SORT and THREAD extensions[1]

The only way I think is that it was a numbered list and they pasted the RFC number before the list number so the list number was actually appended to the RFC number?

I've brought up the same point in a number of threads that have brought up mailing lists over the years. In the specific case of mailing lists like the ones used for Linux kernel and git development, I believe many participants host t

That doesn't mean that there's an inherent bias against women in open source software development. If what you're saying is true, then there must be an inherent bias against males when comparing preschool teachers (2.7% male

Many people say that people leave bad managers, not bad jobs. The fact that people are still contributing with RMS at the forefront of the FSF indicates that they at least are fine with the way things currently are. If management changes,

I'm not sure if there are any format specifications for the author and committer lines in a git commit message object. I guess it really depends on whether commands that are used to display the information (git show, git log, etc.) ca

Not really. What if people thought the method used for slaughtering was inhumane and they preferred a different method. Then the motivation is not based on hostility towards a minority.

It's unfortunate that the same thing happened with the Rohingya without much consequence.

It really only happens with certain websites, like Facebook. If I leave a browser tab open overnight, then it can get to that point where I see a browser tab taking 50% of the resident memory, I guess it's too much to ask companies no

I do remember the days where there was no thread or process separation, but, at least for the set of websites I would frequent back in those days, it rarely happened. And, even then, it didn't render the computer unusable due to const

Given that the general public has largely moved on to web interfaces or mobile apps for email access, do we really need to render HTML emails in Thunderbird? I have mine set to display messages as plain text.

While that's true, I've noticed that my installation of Thunderbird has recently started allocating anywhere from 30 to 40% of resident memory (%mem column in top), and it takes a very long time to switch tasks to or from Thunderb

There's a spring mechanism that pushes it out. It worked by pressing in to lock it and then pressing in again to unlock it. The cover is recessed relative to the case, so it would be a bit difficult to secure it with tape unfortunate
