It's all based on your email client, and how you have it configured.
I use Thunderbird, Outlook, and the Gmail webgui all between different
computers and different accounts, and lists, etc.  I have them
configured to view messages as threaded.  Some people don't do that.
But enough people on mailing lists, especially UNIX/linux based ones,
do do that, that it's become a "best practice".  And "net-iquette"
tends to favor best practices.

Here's a little "light reading":
