We don't have a good letter metaphor in Matrix yet, but it should be coming fairly soon - we have someone sponsoring development on threading, and so you should get that bit at least in the coming months. However, the other aspect of mail style semantics is the incredible flexibility which email gives in terms of adding/removing people from threads on a message by message basis. This doesn't map very tidily into a Matrix room currently, and is a bit of an open question right now :)

Nice to know it's in progress! I hope the Matrix equivalent will be able to fully match and outdo email eventually, but 1-on-1 is already enough to be valuable, and it seems to me the room metaphor should be possible to map fairly gracefully to mailing lists at least. Thanks for the efforts, as always! I will read up on more of the current capabilities soon, by the way, to see if we can put an society I'm in on Matrix for internal communications and event announcements.
