Not at all. The position I'm in is that Google have made an email client
which 'breaks' existing conventions for threading, and so it makes
people (possibly unintentionally) take shortcuts, which work for them,
but don't work for others.
I use GMail for list traffic because it presents a
host of posts in an
accessible manner, not because it works well with Outlook or whatever.
Perhaps you should try it and see why I do this, and why others do the
same thing.
I have a gmail account and indeed I used to use it to post to this
mailing list. I prefer a dedicated email client, such as Thunderbird,
however. I do agree that gmail displays it in an accessible manner, with
some clever functionality. This, of course, can be achieved without
breaking existing conventions.
In the meantime, please don't take shortcuts to start new threads. The
post reply button is for exactly that, and nothing else! :)
