I have thunderbird sort the DCLUG mails into a folder and I always view them threaded in that folder. Yes sometimes i only skim or don't read entire threads as there is a lot of mail there and i only have so much time. But i can skim my inbox and sub folders in a fraction of the time it takes me to skim a forum. Thats just my view, but i've got a feeling this may start a healthy discussion!
