I think it's in part due to the various mail clients everyone's using.
I'm using Netscape mail, and for the most part, threads stick together.
However, there are times where one will break and restart. I think some
mail clients keep the "references" and others strip them off, which is
what causes the breaks.

Newsgroups would be really sweet. Jon, do you see the archives being
included in, or just everything moving forward?
