Errrr. No.. I guess the simplest way to explain is would be to mimic it manually. You send a message to some friends at work. You then create a folder and a filter to filter any replies to that folder. All your friends who received your initial message or join in later also do the same. So you have a folder which collects all the conversation about your original message. The "Chat" feature just automates this for you. Where it can really make a mess is when you do it on one of the TB lists, because then everyone gets a Chat folder and that thread ends up there instead of whatever folder all their TB messages get put into normally.
