Hi Jed,

that's not an error. It's a feature.

By default Mail groups your messages into what it calls conversations. This 
means that a message is grouped together with any replies. for instance, if 
someone sends you an email which was a reply to an email you originally sent 
them, Mail will display the latest in-coming message together with your 
original message in case you want to refer back to what you originally said.

By default, too, conversations are collapsed. That means, they only take up one 
row in your list of messages, and you only see the most recent or oldest 
unread. VoiceOver announces how many messages there are in a conversation, 
whether it is collapsed or expanded, and announces that disclosure thing which 
is the thing you can click on to expand the conversation. There is no real need 
to expand the conversation, however. Once you open the message with command-o, 
you can stop interacting with the current message and VO right or left to view 
other messages in the conversation.

If you want to get rid of the conversation system all together, you can do so. 
Go to Mail Preferences with command-comma, go to the view tab in the toolbar, 
and uncheck the option which says something along the lines of group related 
messages as conversations.

Cheers,
Nic
