the first people on usenet were scientists and email was
linear,
not packaged like it is now, further messages were THREADED
like it
is now so we KNOW what the topic of the message is as we scroll
thru. I know cause I was there at the start. we didnt all have
puters at home and it would sometimes take days before we got
an
answer to an email so it was pretty easy to forget what the
person
was talking about.

What the hay is "packaged e-mail"?
