JR:

IIRC, the MS mail clients do not support threading (possibly because they're 
too busy importing various kinds of system-busting malware?), with the result 
that recent immigrants from Windows seem to be the worst offenders about 
hijacking. To your credit, you do bottom post -- most ex-Windowsers tend to 
top post.

Since you are running KMail, you can easily set up threading from the Folder 
tool. (You'll have to do it on a folder-by-folder basis.) Then select (KMail) 
Configure / Appearance and check the box "Open threads that contain ...". 
That will cause KMail to close all threads except those containing new, 
unread, or important messages as well as watched threads. (You can set those 
flags -- and others -- by right clicking on the message.) Warning: While this 
will make slogging through your mail much simpler, it may also lead to 
posting nastygrams to people who break or hijack threads.
