I've never seen an IM client that doesn't display what > I write. Why should email be different? I understand seeing your own replies as a benefit (could be solved with set record = [Gmail]/INBOX in muttrc). But I believe he meant the branching. In gmail's web interface a thread is vertical, sorted by time. However here in mutt, I can see that I've replied to you in our own little thread branch. I like this better. Personally, with the proper sort, sort_aux, and record settings in muttrc, I don't see how gmail's got anything on mutt in the realm of threading. That's just me though :) to each their own.
