That part didn't bother me too much. I hated the way it didn't seem to
indicate what message you were replying to. For the most part, the
conversation had a linear structure, not a tree one. They would reply
to the last message in the conversation and the reply would have the
same indentation as all the rest of the messages. To me, that makes it
look like a reply to the original message that started the wave.
