First....the above illustrates again the issue with how your replies are
"broken".  I did not say "And you could set...".  You are replying to a
message from "Tim" who replied to message from "Me".  So, "Tim" should
have been attributed with the "And you could set...".

I haven't been able to fully grasp what problem you are having or trying
to define and solve.....

However, it seems to me that the "problem" is...there may be a thread
started by one person (not you) and you reply to one post within that
thread and wish only to see messages related to your post within the
thread.  If that is it, then no there is no concept of "sub-treading".

Frankly, there is simple solution to the "problem".  Since you seem
uninterested in the general thread and what others may or may not have
said within the thread as it doesn't relate to your comments...then
start your own thread.  Yes, you will have some people that respond to
your thread and take things on a tangent that you are not interested in
and you won't be able to exclude them from your view, but that is
unavoidable.
