Lately I realized I have become way too addicted of the gmail interface, and in particular the way it handles threads
Would you mind to explain what is addicting you?
I specially *dislike* the way gmail puts all the replies at the same level, just to take one example out of my head.
My girlfriend hates the exact same thing. That's one of the things I love about it.
Think about it this way: blog comments, forum posts, instant messages, and (some) phone text messages work this way - your messages and other people's messages are all displayed together, because it's a "conversation". 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.
