That's both the biggest strength and the biggest weakness of e-mail - different clients can give users different views and workflows of exactly the same content. On the one hand, that means you can find one that works how you like (e.g. I straight-up hate GMail's web UI for long threads). But on the other hand, you can't predict how your messages will interact with someone else's UI and workflow. Regards, -- Rowan Tommins [IMSoP]
