That makes sense to me. The current model makes it really easy to lose 
messages. My inbox has thousands of messages, with lots I haven't gotten 
to reading. So if someone replies to something old, I'm not going to 
notice unless it appears in my recent messages unless I switch to 
unthreaded mode, which I really would rather not do.
