I understand exactly what you are saying, and what you are saying is essentially what I changed. I went into the view preferences and chose to sort by date instead of by thread. I have never liked reading by thread. I prefer to see messages according to when they were received and so I sat the view so I get the messages by when they are received. And, chose to have the newest message at the bottom of the list so that I read messages in the order they were received instead of latest message first.
