Usenet and e-mail. Both message formats supported referencing the message being replied to since the early days:

- the_af 3y agoI wrote a lengthy reply and then deleted it because I realized that I too used threaded email conversations. I think I forgot about them because Gmail doesn't have them, and it's been ages since I used Eudora or Thunderbird. (Or text-only Pine, but I honestly cannot remember if it showed threads).
- F-W-M 3y agoGMail does not support threads?!
- Technetium 3y agoIt's called "Conversation View" and it DOES exist! It's just disabled by default. You can find it in: Settings -> All Settings -> General.
- the_af 3y agoWhen they introduced labels they claimed threads were a thing of the past. I didn't even know you could still have them, Google certainly didn't advertise it (since they wanted us to use labels instead).
