threading, agreed. but the way quote collapse features and is pushed in Gmail basically created or greatly exacerbated the very problem it's a solution for. People used to clean their quotes for relevance, but now they're hidden out of mind, and every mail contains nearly the full conversation, collapsed. it's useless extra data quietly dragging along every mail in a thread, hardly any human ever sees it, but I bet it's super useful for their machine learning (targeted advertising) priorities.
