Frank, Here's a picture I found that shows what a threaded email list looks like. I attached it to the email. When an email is replied to, the mail program puts it directly below and indents it one space to the right, regardless of the date that it was sent. This makes it real easy to follow a conversation that is taking place over a long period of time, because if you didn't have threading, the replies to the conversation you are trying to follow would be mixed in with hundreds of other emails.
