Reported to Google in multiple topics with identical subject lines 
(should I laugh? ;) and many repetitive complaints, 
<http://tinyurl.com/gmail-thread-molex1000>.  

<http://groups.google.com/group/Gmail-Help-Organizing-Messages-en/msg/6c6a795cc1aea3db>
mentions 'In-Reply-To' but despite me being a member of this Google Group I
am denied the option to reply. 

<http://groups.google.com/group/Gmail-Help-Settings-en/browse_thread/thread/9b6ad523513e1858>
is another relevant topic to which I can not reply.

At <http://groups.google.com/group/Gmail-Help-Discussion> Google place
massive colourful ticks against: 

√ Search before you post!

√ Include a specific description.

√ Add to on-topic threads.

— fine, so I sought and found, but if I can't add, what oh what is the
point? :(

Another user's more recent complaint, 8th January 2009, 
<http://groups.google.com/group/Gmail-Help-Organizing-Messages-en/browse_thread/thread/266c91cb36d77e6/>:

Amongst the known issues: 

<https://mail.google.com/support/bin/static.py?page=known_issues.cs> |
Composing and Reading Mail | Messages are improperly threaded | View Details
& Report | Report it

As you click 'Report it', your vote is registered. 

However: Google's description of that issue:

> you can't manually merge or separate messages from conversations

— differs from our observed problem, that conversations should not require
manual attention. Simply, they should not break in the first place :(

So: for anyone who is bothered by Google breakage, suggestions to 
<http://mail.google.com/support/bin/static.py?page=suggestions.cs>

I think we can wind up the Google Mail Beta breakage-related stuff and
return to Chandler :)

Best, 
Graham
