[Foundation-l] Threading

[Aphaia]

Um, I thought it would be better to talk privately but surprised it is
forgotten at all so do it:

Users can burst digest format messages into separate mails locally. It
means, you can scan the digest and burst them into messages only if
you want to reply. Most of ancient mail user clients have this "burst"
function. If your mailers have no such function, there is still
possibilites to get a script and run. Search for "burst digest
messages".

By the way, Gmail doesn't seem to have that burst command, sad.
