Indeed, mutt is showing me a very branchy tree for this very discussion. MUAs include references to the message IDs replied to within each message's headers, precisely so that readers can construct a reference graph of message relationships for this use case. If you find that mailing list discussions lack a tree-like structure, that's a failing of the mail client you've chosen, not the medium itself. -- Jeremy Stanley
