Many people consider(ed) the problem of how to present email in a way that they understand -- not a crazy tree exposing the underlying reply structure -- difficult, as they had never experienced such.
- JohnFen 2y agoThey may not have experienced such, but threading presented this way was already a well-established thing before gmail. Not so much with email as with newsgroups, but still. Also, some people considering a problem "hard" is an entirely different thing than a problem being widely considered as "impossible". This was not anything close to an impossible problem.
