Um, well the GZG forum under question is one of those most primitive
ones  
then. Every post in a "thread" is listed in chronological order with no 

indication of which post it's a reply to, and hence no branching and no 

way to follow just one thread out of the many that may arise from a
single	
starting post.

Depends entirely on your e-mail client. It's one of the major failings
in  
several mail clients and webmail services (including Gmail which is
ironic	
as Google Groups has a fully threaded view) but not all.
