Bug in R-Help Archives?

Hello,

When consulting the R-Help Archives today I've noticed that the thread

Pipe operator

started by John Sorkin, Tue Jan 3 17:48:30 CET 2023 is under another thread,

R Certification

started by Mukesh Ghanshyamdas Lekhrajani.

Isn't this a bug in the filing system?

Thanks to the list maintainer  Martin Maechler and ETH Zurich for 
organizing and hosting the list for all of us. It's an invaluable tool 
that has served so many R users along the years and that surely gives a 
lot of work organizing and eventual headaches. I hope this is not one of 
them.

Maybe the attached screen capture makes it more clear.

just replied to the other thread rather than starting a fresh email,
and in his attempts to hide that, was outsmarted by Outlook.

This is based on references to domains such as yahoo.com,
dcn.davis.ca.us, and precheza.cz in the header, which were all
involved in the certification thread.

That's 100% correct. The starting "Pipe operator" e-mail has
In-Reply-To: <047e01d91ed5$577e42a0$067ac7e0$@yahoo.com>, and the
message with this Message-ID is the one from Mukesh Ghanshyamdas
Lekhrajani with the subject "Re: [R] R Certification" that's
immediately above the message by John Sorkin.

Every email thread (mailing list or not) gets a hidden identifier that is used to identify that thread. It is not that Outlook outsmarted John... any email program would have done the same.

John... please don't reply to existing posts with a new subject... many mailing list users may be using the threaded view in their email program and never see your question at all if they were not interested in the original thread.

Thanks, I was searching the archives for something else, stumbled on 
that and forgot to look at the heders.
Good news there's nothing wrong with R-Help.

My apologies,
I did not mean to be part of the discussion. If there is such a thing as a pocket email (similar to a pocket dial) the email would be classified as a pocket email.
