outlook - Do all email clients use "In-Reply-To" field in email header? -
when email send message-id header, replies include in-reply-to naming id , references can name list of parent message id's, , email clients use information construct threads when viewing list of emails in threaded view.
my question is: email clients (outlook, gmail, exchange, etc) append in-reply-to field in email header while sending reply existing email?
i referred rfc 2822 says in-reply-to field optional.
though optional, every message should have "message-id:" field. furthermore, reply messages should have "in-reply-to:"
example of in-reply-to email header:
first email:
message-id <foobar-1234-0@server.com> in-reply-to: not provided references: not provided
second email:
message-id <foobar-1234-1@server.com> in-reply-to: <foobar-1234-0@server.com> references: <foobar-1234-0@server.com>
third email:
message-id <foobar-1234-2@server.com> in-reply-to: <foobar-1234-1@server.com> references: <foobar-1234-0@server.com> <foobar-1234-1@server.com>
