Conversation Threads in Evolution

I really enjoy the way Google’s Gmail displays related messages (or threads) as conversations. David Morrison has been working on a plugin for Evolution which tries to replicate this behavior. The last news items was on August of 2005 asking if he was done.

I think it still needs a little bit more work, so I’ve written up a specification for Gmail’s conversation feature.

Of course, once you do all that, it always turns out that someone else has written something similar already and for the same reason.
