I love that about Gmail too.

IM(V)HO the two main differences between using Gmail and a "proper"
newsreader are:

- no proper "kill thread", as mentioned above

- Gmail doesn't recognise that a thread has branches of sub-threads, where
people talk about a particular aspect of the main thread.  From Gmail's
point of view it's one big list of messages.

This second one doesn't trouble me, but it's the thing that Gmail users see=
m
to not always "get" when people say they prefer newsreaders.

Just realised, I didn't mention Ruby in that post.. sorry for the OT!
