I've known of this problem for a long time.  The problem is trying
to get the proper indenting level for continued threads, and historically,
throwing in some <ul>'s does the trick.

With advent of better stylesheet support, you may be able to get
the right visual effect with valid markup.  Maybe use <div> tags with
a given class attribute so you can define the indent level.

Note, using stylesheets may not work text-based clients.
