Maintain email conversation context across messages using threading headers. Use when building thread reconstruction, linking replies to conversations, detecting thread hijacking, stripping quoted content, or providing thread context to AI agents.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Thread Management

Keep email conversations connected - link replies to their threads, reconstruct conversation history, and detect when threads go wrong.

## When to use this skill

- Building or debugging email thread reconstruction from headers
- Replies are not grouping into conversations correctly
- Implementing In-Reply-To and References headers on outbound replies
- Stripping quoted reply content to extract new message text
- Providing conversation context to AI agents or LLMs
- Detecting thread hijacking or forged thread injection attacks
- Threads display differently in Gmail vs Outlook and you need cross-client consistency
- Managing long-lived threads that span days or weeks
- Splitting or merging conversations programmatically

## Related skills

- `inbound-processing` - receiving and parsing incoming email (prerequisite for threading)
- `reply-classification` - classifying reply intent once you have thread context
- `email-security` - injection and phishing prevention, including thread hijacking
- `transactional-email` - sending emails that need proper threading headers

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add chunkydotdev/email-skills/thread-management@sha256:1b84a070f1e769e2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260330.fac3bc9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
