I then try to visit these threads on a different machine, but of course that thread id doesn't exist there, since the database was reindexed and tags reimported. I don't know if it is in any way practical, but it would be nice from my point of view if thread id's were a property of the mail collection, or at least it was possible to dump and restore them. If this is too much of a corner case, then I suspect I can work around it in the emacs client by calling search twice, first with an id in the thread. David
