I use Thunderbird and set to see threaded views. It is remarkably easy 
to see the context, even without reading any actual mails!

I very much appreciate using email lists, and only ever use online 
displays if there is no choice, and I have to be desperate then 
anyway, or it does not get looked at.

I am on just a lot of lists and groups, and on line (web based) 
approach would be severely limiting.

With lists  - using the threaded context - it is very easy to see what 
is happening, and where my attention needs to go - in the several 
short attention spans that I use that is.
