[GNC] Anyone noticing an issue with list messages 'un-threading'?

[David Carlson]

I usually reply at the top of a message because that is the way GMail tries
to force me to do it.  I get tired of scrolling down to see if I missed
something, but sometimes I have to do that anyway. Years ago I tried to
reply at the bottom, but 22 message long threads got the best of me.

Maybe that is why sometimes my answers do not get the notice that I think
they deserve.

Since threading has always seemed broken in GMail to me, I would not care
if became missing altogether.
