It is counterproductive to produce a software or hardware commodity to meet the needs of everyone who might use them.
"meet the needs of everyone" is a bit rhetorical, but the general idea has proven quite productive, e.g. for Microsoft and for the open source community, to produce tools with a huge number of obscure configuration options (whereas the options i'm talking about aren't particularly obscure); and lord knows the web browsing experience is immensely configurable through JavaScript and HTML5; there is a tension between doing this and also having the options stay out of the way
that's not what i'm talking about though -- at this point the discussion is about the phenomenology of email and workflow choices, although if your email client bunches up the thread it might be harder to follow ;?>
If you don't like the way MAIL behaves, adapt, or go elsewhere for your solution. DON'T whine about it on PDML.
