Testing... and a question

[James Heaver]

I think it makes sense, given gmail's threading - otherwise you would end up
with two copies of your email in each thread which would be jsut as
confusing to people.  (I didn't send that twice etc etc)

I agree that its annoyign tha tyou can't tell that yoru email has been
recieved though, they need some sort of indicator to say when a copy of your
sent email has also been recieved.

On a related note - its a gripe of mine that we have lost the sophistication
of usenet threading from the world, the odd messageboard, such as slashdot
has it.  (although not quite as user friendly as the interface in even
mediocre news readers)  But by far most of the discussion groups,
particularly message boards and forums have ended up with a flat-file type
system which I can't stand.

Plus there is no central way to monitor forums - I have to remember to check
each one, or set up annoying email reminders for everything.

With Usenet - the client would manage all yoru subscriptions, let you know
when there were unread messages, collapse and expand threads - capabilities
msot of you will remember.

Where has all that gone in our brave new web2.0 world?
