There is probably a bit of snobbery with mail agents going on. Many
people are stuck with abominations like Outlook, which are often set up
to ignore traditional ways of handling emails. I personally haven't used
mutt for about 6 years thanks to work pressures.

However most people have used google and come across archives of email
threads. If the OP were to visit

l#37996, he'll see the kind of threading problem his methodology can
cause, rather than having to take other people's word that their mailing
clients are better than his.
