> This config certainly improves things in Apple mail in that replies to a post are now appropriately grouped. However, the original post (ie without an RE) is orphaned from its replies. I could hack in a compulsory RE for all email I guess. I make note of it as others are bound to encounter the problem.

I changed mine to always include the “Re:”, even on the first message, which is what is required to make Apple Mail properly thread the messages (as broken as that is). Given a lot of Mac users on my group (pretty much all), its a no-brainer to suffer the stupidity to get a better result.
