I'm sorry but I can't find this "suggestion" in this yet-another-super-
long-description-of-another-idea-of-redesign. In addition it's extremely
painful to constantly have to go through web links to follow a single
conversation. Mail works in threads for a reason. When the same discussion
is handled in many parallel threads it becomes impossible to keep it
focused on a specific topic. This is also why you should stop systematically
responding to a message with yet another redesign suggestion, this is super
hard to follow and it literally takes me several hours a week! And at the
end we've not addressed the initial problem but discussed plenty of other
things.
Thanks,
Willy
