I still think it's a strange question.  If you follow it to its logical
conclusion there would only be newbies asking questions and package
maintainers answering them.  So an email thread would be:

From:  Ed.C@lueless.org
Subject: minTTY porblem

Subject: Re: minTTY porblem

Subject: Re: minTTY porblem

From Ed.C@luless.org
Subject: Re: minTTY porbem (SOVLED!)

i.e., you'd only ever see two people in every email thread.  Clearly
