Yes, I agree - it really is a matter of making a discussion easier to follow by keeping it in order down the page in the way a natural conversation proceeds in real time.
But one thing that really, really helps is to edit what you're replying to, so that what you quote contains just enough of the whole sequence for your reply to make sense. Scrolling down through 'House That Jack Built' email replies is tedious and time-consuming; and the continual repetition of the whole tale in every single reply is a profligate waste of server capacity!
