Is is just me or in Mystic the keys [ and ] to move forward and back a message within the same thread, doesn't seem to work?
Those keys are for moving back and forth in a thread. You can see if
there are linked messages with the "refer to" and "see also" on the
right side of the header.

Well would you look at that! I never noticed those 2 fields before. Well, I think I've figured out what the problem was. If those fields have something in them (not zero), then the [ and ] keys do work. But more often than not, these fields just have 0 in them. Why would that be? You'd think all messages with a "RE: same subject" would be linked together?

Yep, that's what I'm realizing... The question now is: why are some messages linked properly and others not? Maybe it's how people reply to messages, or how their board is configured?
Yep, you need to use LinkMessages with mutil. I run that after every
toss.
Message linking relies on the MSGID and REPLY kludge in the mail (I
quoted the kludges from your mail). Some older software do not add a
MSGID and/or REPLY kludge. It often happens with QWK offline readers. No
