Email headers when replying   

Hi,

My question is more email-oriented and not specific to Exchange, but
since I'm using Exchange I figured I'd post it here.

I'm sending e-mails using WebDAV by submitting a PUT request to the
##DavMailSubmissionURI##, it works swell. The only problem I have is
when replying to emails, I don't know what headers I need to add for
the reply to be correct.

I've searched and come up with In-Reply-To, References (and maybe
Thread-Topic and Thread-Index?) but I don't know if that's correct.
How can I even try this out, what email clients support conversations
by message-id/thread instead of subject? I've tried gmail but that
just goes by the subject line not the header fields...

Any help is much appreciated!

Re: Email headers when replying   

Thanks Henning, appreciate the help, the links had some useful info.

I've also seen the headers Thread-Index and Thread-Topic, but I'm
guessing they're newer than those documents. I'll just stick with
References and In-Reply-To until somebody complains :)
