That is definitly a client problem. I am reading mails by thread and can ignore threads, mark complete threads as read and i exactly see who is responding to whom. With the tree i see i can even detect the most controversal or responded messages without opening them. > The OSM forum is not the best forum you could imagine, but it works much > better for keeping track of discussions and outcomes, including threading, > limited quoting, searching, back-reading, and starting spin-off subjects. > And it works on all devices, without having to tame all of them separately > (which I am not even allowed to do on many of them).

Its a pull media so i need to explicitly point and click to follow issues. Mail communication can be much more complex and may fade to different subthreads. Large threads form into a tree and not some linear easy thing. Thats a problem of a newer generation not having read stuff like the Netiquette RFC1855 - Change the subject if your dicussion fades.
