I'll correct myself then, gmail+pentadactyl does not like the combination of mailing lists I'm on. Some of them are badly configured (thankfully none of the Arch ones) and have to be used with reply-to-all, hence sometimes I press the wrong button, not remembering which list I'm on.
When I was using Evolution it was easy, Ctrl-L (reply-to-list) did everything for me, but with web gmail there's no such button and I have to remember whether to reply/reply-all depending on the list. I'll try not to make the mistake again =).
Umm... then don't use it, then, in favour of a client that works?
Seriously though, I've never used GMail, but I see so many people on various lists apologising for the way it handles email. Just don't do it, kids.

Gmail's web interface has THE best approach to threading. Ever. If you have any other suggestion (web client or linux desktop client) which comes anywhere close please let me know. Evolution's threading just doesn't cut it, thunderbird's new one is close, but thunderbird is basically a mouse-only interface, the keyboard shortcuts are so horrific (and muttator is an abortion of a project AFAICS). I've spent quite some time exploring the options, and settled on this. Ideas always welcome, of course.

I've been using Claws-mail for some time, and I am quite happy of the way it handles threads. I switched to mutt a few weeks ago, and I found it to have a very nice way of handling ML (along with threading, of course). If you like keyboard shortcuts, well, Mutt is the best choice for you anyway ;) BTW, I've never used the gmail interface, so I can't really compare... -- "C'est mieux, mais il y a plus cher ailleurs" : ____ _ _ _ _ ___ _ / ___| \ | | | | | / / | (_)_ __ _ ___ __ | | _| \| | | | |/ /| | | | '_ \| | | \ \/ / | |_| | |\ | |_| / / | |___| | | | | |_| |> < \____|_| \_|\___/_/ |_____|_|_| |_|\__,_/_/\_\ GNU/Linux fan && Archlinux user

+1 Exactly why I haven't had an offline e-mail client for some time. Except for mutt which I keep around for the rainy day. -- GPG/PGP ID: 8AADBB10

Sorry I don't know a desktop program, but sup (a console app) supposedly emulates gmail. http://sup.rubyforge.org/

Yeah, sup is still a little experimental but quite an awesome client. Also, for version 2, they are planning on splitting out the client and server functionality into two separate projects, which makes me salivate somewhat. I use mutt these days, which handles threading quite well. I also really really like KMail (I used it for around 10 years), but it's just got too slow and resource intensive with all the nepomuk stuff.
