 I post both from the web
 interface and from Thunderbird, and both don't
 seem to break threads.
 On the
 other hand I noticed that gmail makes it difficult to reply
 with
 bottompostings. (it was bottompostings
 that were supposed to be used on
 this list,
 yes?). Not impossible, but difficult.

 Besides the threadbreaking by Phil I also
 noticed that Leonard
 Erickson's
 (shadow's) mails keep getting filtered by the gmail spam

 filter. I am not really sure why, I must
 have whitelisted his email half
 a dozen
 times already. But of course those break the threads for me
 as well.

Yahoo also ends Leonards posts to the spam folder..
