Thunderbird has been threading my Fedora List messages for a long time.  
I don't think you can follow this list un-threaded!

Hmm, not sure what's happening but anything I send is hidden from me.  
The only record of this message I will have will be in the "sent" file.  
I am not receiving my own messages through the Fedora List, everything 
else seems to get to me, just not anything from myself?  Google mail is 
doing some curious things.
