Thanks Ed!
In fact I'm using Microsoft Entourage on my Mac, which does keep the
"Re:" posts together with the original message. It also allows you to
search for the keywords in the subject-"Conradi" in the case I gave,
and I definitely am missing the original post in this, and a number of
other cases. When I get time, I'll try setting Apple Mail up to access
my mail and see if it does any better!

I've recently noticed that I seem to be missing the original posts

beginning
with "Re:" but no sign of the original post. For example, the

entitled "Conradi Sonata". And yes, I've checked my spam box! Has
anyone
else had this problem? Is there anything I can do about it?
Yes, I'm using Mail on a Mac and I have Organize by Threads checked
in the view menu. In my case, the original message is usually there,
I just often forget to look for it. Or, more often, I'll see a post,
write a reply and then find a dozen other responses that other
people had already posted saying the same thing I said. I, of
course, didn't see them because I'm working my way through my email
chronologically and for some reason the original post isn't kept
together with all the "Re" posts. (I thought that is what Organize
by Threads is supposed to do). The solution is to View by Subject.
