Most modern email-clients like Netscape & Mozilla have a 'threads'
button you can click on, which will display each email thread indented /
hierarchically, just like a News reader.

Of course, just like in Usenet, if someone wants to start a new Thread
but just Replies instead of creating a new message, then their new
message/thread instead will end-up a child of the previous thread.

However, Netscape/Mozilla has a built-in 'search' at the top of the
screen which finds partial-string Subject or Senders... which helps you
really quickly find Messages, much better than Outlook's "Find" feature.
