I'm sorry but I haven't seen a good phpbb archive or decent search engine 
bolted to one.  >:-(

Yeah, it's a stock PHPBB with mysql backend -- searching returns entire 
threads (some with a dozen pages), and the archives aren't split up by 
month or even year.  This was a good example of what, exactly?  :-)

Outlook Express is threaded.  Mozilla's threaded.  Outlook (I think) is 
threaded.  Kmail is threaded...  Evolution's threaded...

I don't know of anyone NOT using a threaded MUA, and if they are using one, 
then collapsing a thread is as simple as clicking the [-] beside the thread 
they're not interested in.

I dunno, like you put it, it's more personal preference than anything else.  
I like everything "in one spot" and typically with forums and mailing lists 
you end up with "oh that's easy it was in the mailing list" or "yeah we did 
that, details on the forum".  But I digress.
