No, it's not the list host. It's client programs, and Hyphen has
explained adequately why his messages break thread.

Yahoo!Groups is vile, they're always changing their user interface and
listmanager interface, and if we were on Yahoo!Groups, everyone who uses
Yahoo! as their address for receiving or posting would be having
continuous problems with the list, as the problem that Listmom worked
around with the "fake" from address also affects Yahoo!Groups-based
lists, and Listmom wouldn't have been able to "fix" it.

Yahoo! is not competent to run a mailing list service. They borged two
good services (OneList and eGroups), and destroyed them both.
