I did NOT say my mailer can't sort the messages per thread. Of course 
it can. And of course it can and does filter messages into folders. 
But usualy I do not keep the messages long enough to constitute a 
thread. Therefore I WILL see as a thread the messages that came 
overnight, but if you send a reply while I'm online it's very likely 
that before your reply gets to me the original email is already 
deleted.

Sorry I get too many emails to bother keeping those I might need just 
to refresh what exactly did what person say. If I'm really interested 
in the thread I might keep it, but don't count on it.
