[Ansteorra] How about a forum?

[Chiara Francesca]

Gmail does the same thing as well. Works wonderfully when trying to read all
that Grand Counsel email. :)

At home Outlook allows for basically the same thing. You just have to
manipulated it a lot.

Our mailing list archives can also be sorted in this manner so that you can
read just one thread.

But I do have to support Sir Morgan's words about members that do not have
access to email from home. We have many members that simple do not have
internet access from home for one reason or another. Most of our members
that do have access at work are blocked from using forums. Blocking software
is being utilized more vigorously in the last 3 years and it is not going to
let up as spammers get smarter and learn how to get past our best efforts.

I do exactly what 'wolf just described and then click on the cute little 
button that Mozilla's Thunderbird supplies for me:  threads.  This can't 
control the messages that no longer pertain to the topic because we 
forget to change the subject line, but it helps immensely in keeping all 
the messages of one type grouped together.
