All of what Valdis said, not to mention that some clients still re-append the characters "Re:" to the subject, meaning 
your thread turns into six very quickly.

I sit in the newer-curmudgeon category. I like HTML and fancy formatting and the like, and I don't use a client that 
does half of what Valdis referred to, but I do what I can to stay organized and be able to ignore threads as I so 
choose. And I'm guessing many are doing just that with this thread.
