Maybe I should try to persuade you in person.

Just today I referenced a discussion I had with a client's ISP,
which was done via a web-based support system (custhelp.com). They
send you e-mail for every post you or they make to the thread, but
those e-mails do not reference each other. Fortunately, I stitched
them together and when I searched for the correspondence in my
mailstore, I had the entire thread available to me, which was handy
(thanks to mutt's useful thread handling abilities).
