Threading using Novell GroupWise

Threaded View is not supported in GroupWise versions earlier than 5.0.

In early versions of GroupWise (ie before 5.0), it is also important to note that the behaviour of the email client when replying is slightly non-standard. It does not add the text "re: " to the beginning of the subject line. It does, however add the text " -Reply" to the end of the subject line. This means that most other email clients interpret the reply as creating a new thread.

This can be avoided by manually removing the " -Reply" from the end of the post. If this is done, it is in fact not necessary to add the "Re: " to the beginning. Most email clients will interpret it as a reply to an existing thread anyway. Where users of GroupWise 4.x (or earlier) participate in lists where other users have email clients that support threading and threading is an established habit, their effort to make this change will be appreciated by other users.

In the examples of threaded posts in the other email client sections on this page, the "How Learning Happens" thread has one post from a GroupWise user where the " -Reply" was deleted and the thread "How Learning Happens -Reply" shows what happened when they posted one with the " -Reply" left on.
