Well, just because it's horrible, doesn't mean it doesn't do it :) I 
have clients and co-workers that swear by the "threaded" nature of 
Gmail. I tend to agree with you, but that's because I've been using a 
"real" mail client for a decade. What you cut your teeth on is sometimes 
hard to get over :) Hence, my Thunderbird addiction.....
