If y'all were using a threaded MUA, we might not get so many nearly
identical answers to the same question...  mutt (text), evolution (gui),
sylpheed (gui), mahogany (gui) all run on linux (plus some other
platforms), and all have this ability.  Probably others too.  Except for
!@...ng Microsoft's broken threading "standard" - outlook messages don't
thread properly.
