snip - my query on why OE didn't propery thread posts based on the
References header

maybe this would help you ...

OE-Quotefix hasn't been updated in nearly 3 years. It is an abandoned
product. As such, it is a defunct product and has not kept up with patches
and updates. The result is that OE-QuoteFix remains unusable (it has no
effect) when installed in my current setup. I configure OE to *always* read
in plain-text mode since I only use it for newsgroups. Because of that,
OE-QuoteFix won't work anymore. Since it has not been updated to accomodate
for control changes to OE due to Windows XP Service Pack 2 and it won't be
updated further, it is an unusable product and will remain an unusable
product for me. See http://www.insideoe.com/resources/tools.htm#oequotefix.
Read the last sentence inside the boxed area regarding Windows XP SP-2 users
and why OE-QuoteFix stopped working.

While OE-Quotefix changes some behaviors of OE, I have never seen it affect
changes to sort order or grouping based on the References header. That's
not something OE-Quotefix bothers to handle. The primary reason why I used
OE-QuoteFix was to force bottom-posting. However, Windows XP SP-2 updates
OE so that a registry change can now make OE do bottom posting.
