I think responses to the what's cooking mails per se should certainly
have in-reply-to set properly. I'm rather wondering if there's some
specific reasons why do you keep all the "What's cooking" mails in a
single thread? If there is nothing particular, keeping each "What's
cooking" report in a separate mail might be easier on a portion of
readers. I will use break-thread now (thanks, didn't know about it!) but
the practice seems strange to me.
