I don't use GMails web interface, i just pull all my mail from there
via IMAP and it's sorted on my local server via sieve/dovecot together
with a bunch of other accounts.
This "feature" thus destroys threads for me, and I never know, if a
mail actually has reached the ML (my connection tends to be flaky at
times) until somebody replies to it.
