Good god, how do you get anything done without threading? It's essential to reading mailing lists. A good example of what it's supposed to look like is to look at the Gmane archives, for example: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin/54746 Notice that there's a tree structure formed by replies? That's how mail is supposed to work, and is how any decent MUA will display it (if you choose "threaded" mode.) I can't comprehend how anyone can follow more than the smallest of mailing lists without having messages organized into threads. Maybe this explains why the practise of proper quoting has also become more rare, to be replaced by that terrible "top post and include the entire original at the end" mode that all Microsoft email products default to. The person that thought that one up needs to be tortured, long and hard.
