Thanks for the info! Group by should do the trick.

Why does replying to an unrelated message create an issue, btw? I changed
the subject, headers and contents of the e-mail. Or at least I thought I
did!

Also, why do people reply to both the message sender and the mailing list?
Doesn't it just arrive duplicated in the sender's mailbox.

Cheers,
- Luis
