Ok, so gmail is broken, lets spam google :)

Google doesn't deserve to get spammed, GMail is a great client. I use it myself for personal mail.
They just need to fix the algorithm that determines what is a continued thread and what is a new
message.
Mostly what happens to my GMail account, is that it groups messages together, that truly have
nothing to do with each other.
