Very few people use email sub-threads. Most emails are individual things that come into your box linearly. I rarely see sub threads used even in mailing lists. Other email threads are one level deep threads. This is the only view a lot of popular clients even bother supporting. (this does bring up something - my emails are marked as read individually. They are unread based on time, but read based on being open with an individual flag in the message. So I was wrong about that before.)
