Well, I can easily see what threads have had updates since I've read 
them, and I can easily ignore entire threads. Also, I spend a lot more 
time in a browser then a mail client

And when you don't have a particular reply to reply to? (I usually do 
the above when I'm replying to something specific, like right now).

Yeah, but we self evidently do not, which is why I proposed something to 
augment those.

I'm in a browser, I don't need my lines wrapped at 72 characters, I'd 
prefer to have them wrapped depending on the size of my browser window.
