These days the biggest offender is Gmail. I find it very surprising that a mail user agent wouldn't handle theads. I forgive mailx for not handling threads but Gmail? Especially these days. Gmail should handle message threads.
Gmail uses a "group by subject line" model. It is definitely not the same as a threaded conversation. In Gmail if the subject line changes, something that has always been a good practice when the topic has drifted, then the message is displayed unattached to any previous message. Worse is that if an unrelated message has the same subject then it is grouped together into the same "group by subject" even if it has no relationship to the previous email. Bob
