BUT... even though there is a really good advantage to be able to keep an entire thread in one page, one thing can still be annoying. If someone makes the slightest change in the subject in his reply, this will come as a separate mail. No disaster so far, as it still is the latest one. But if next guy replies to a mail with the first subject, this will go into the "collection"... and the order of the mails will be messed up. In a "standard" inbox, a thread will be a bunch of separate mails and it's easier to follow the discussion, since they still will be sorted by time, subject edited or not...
Sometimes a backside, but by far not a thing that the ADVANTAGES won't cover. It's also possible to delete single replies in the thread, so you later can save and archive a CLEAN discussion... without Jester's and Buggs' bad jokes and nasty remarks. /Nick On 4/25/05, Peter Gramp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > about gmail... > Plus, I like the ability to close those replies that aren't pertinent, > simply by clicking on the name/ e-mail link (next to the star) at the > top of each message.
