I suppose I could start giving them tags like [so-and-so
topic].shard[0,1,etc] in the subject line to cope with the deficiency.

I bet there's at least some demand for a tool that would do that. Perhaps a combination of an e-mail client plugin, web page monitor, subject/body parser, that would dynamically assemble threads from otherwise disorganized content. Come to think of it, that's kinda what we tried to do for a client a few years back, except we were dicing up corporate annual reports looking for threads in those.

But returning to the thread, I don't believe in making up for such
deficiencies.  ;-)

Hm, I suppose that makes you a gnostic deficiencist ... I'd be more of an agnostic adeficiencist ... can't really _know_ deficiencies exist, but tend to disbelieve in them anyway. I'm a bit of a Taoist... all of what is, is sufficient, it's just up to us to find our path in it.
