For the same reason that you wouldn't pick a stack for a situation in which you likely want seekable FIFO or stream -- you have to unwind the stack and reassemble the order to get context and sync with the flow of information.
- jcelerier 7y agoI don't understand, the flow of information is the email just above in your mail client ? why are replies containing the parent mail text even needed ? for me they're just a nuisance and duplicate information taking up useful screen estate - I'm grateful for all mail clients which hide it by default.
- reubenmorais 7y ago> the flow of information is the email just above It sometimes isn't. If you have long discussion threads with >10 people it's more akin to a graph than a linked list. If all your emails only have (last received message in thread) as context, then you could probably even get away with a chat system instead of email threads. I guess that's why Slack became so popular, it's the common case.
