I believe, Paul, that threading is controlled (or not) by setting a  
preference in your e-mail "client" (I guess it's a client of your  
ISP's server). For example, on my Mac, that piece of e-mail software,  
which is called "Apple Mail" or, internally, simply "Mail", will -  
once set - begin to stack all the e-mails you get on a given subject,  
so that you have them all together, although the ones you've already  
opened are (optionally) obscured beneath the most recent one(s). And  
your replies are interleaved. I _think_ all e-mail software does this  
in essentially the same way but don't know what the non-Apple  
providers call it. But I do think the use of the word "preferences"  
for the settings might be generic. And, at least in Apple software,  
the preference settings come near the beginning of the list of menu  
items, at the opposite end from "help".

Hope this helps.
