Combining Messages in Apple Mail

[Jetheat]

Sometimes, when two messages are from the same person (in Mail), the program gathers them together and puts them in one box.

How do I do that manually for messages I want to put together?

Err...no they don't. Maybe you're talking about quoting a message to make it appear in blue and with the "quote" sidebar? What version of Mail are you referring to?

I have Mail 5.1 and I'm on Lion.

Do you mean threaded together?

Threading is usually accomplished by matching some of the header info, and it would be a pain to do manually.

I'd suggest you look into using a smart mailbox, and then using search criteria that would put all the messages you want into one mailbox. You could use sender's name and a colored flag, for instance.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I was looking for a way where its done automatically or I just drag one to the other and its threaded together.
