I have turned on the mailing list to forum syncing capabilies on 5 of my forums.
For the most part this works as expected. When an email gets sent to the email list it appears on the associated forum. if someone posts on the forum it will get sent out to the email list.
however, there are times when the forum does not post a reply to a message in the right topic.
if i send a new email to the emaillist titled NEW-TOPIC-TEST, a new topic will appear called NEW-TOPIC-TEST. If i reply to this email, it will put the response under the topic of NEW-TOPIC-TEST with the title of RE: NEW-TOPIC-TEST.
now if i reply to the the reply in email, it does not post it under the NEW-TOPIC-TEST topic. it instead creates a new topic with the title of RE:NEW-TOPIC-TEST.
i guess what i'm asking is:
1. Has anyone seen anything like this?
2. How exaclty does the fudforum determine where to place an an email post that it gets via maillist.php
i don't see any errors in the errors directory that pertain to this.
thanks for any hints.

By default the forum determines which topic the message belongs to by looking at the "references" header, which is normally used to indicate to what messages this message is a reply to.
You can also turn on "Slow Reply Match", that will be used if the reference header is not available or not valid. When enabled, the forum will try to assign the message based on the subject of the message.
