    If y'all were using a threaded MUA, we might not get so many nearly
    identical answers to the same question... mutt (text), evolution (gui),
    sylpheed (gui), mahogany (gui) all run on linux (plus some other
    platforms), and all have this ability. Probably others too. Except for
    !@#$ing Microsoft's broken threading "standard" - outlook messages don't
    thread properly.
