I subscribe to digest versions on lists which generate a fairly large number of messages. It just cuts down on the total volume of messages coming ot my inbox. A lot of the individual messages are not of interest to me, and when the digest is 'threaded,' it makes it a lot faster to skip to the topics I am interested in. As it is, messages on a variety of topics get interspersed with each other making it very tedious to wade through. I don't think it's all controlled by the mail client; some of it must be controlled by the mail list. I suspect part of the problem is the way messages get posted. I've seen on other lists that if people reply to a message, but change the substance, the messages get threaded "wrong." I know the OOO list is much more readable (for me). That could change as it migrates to an Apache list.

 Email list usually are not thread based, unless your client combines
 emails with the same subject into thread-like groupings.  I think
 Nabble does some threading though, but I do not use Nabble often.

 Yes, I have seen many lists/forums that are threaded, some good and
 some bad.

 You are talking about "digest" lists.  What are your reasons for
 using the digest list?  I personally do not use one, so I do not know
 what the issues you have.

 users are posting messages?   It seems like a small thing, but it's
 driving me nuts.
