Threaded message view on topline mailing list
Posted by: Paul Beaufait in CommunityGroup, DiscussionThreadingRecently, I’ve noticed that the topline mailing list at Yahoo! (R) Groups now features a threaded view – once you have a message open on the group site.
The thread view appears below the message itself in your browser window. You may need to scroll down to display it.
Message threads comprise a series of messages and replies to which an open message relates (for example, see Figure 1). They show replies, and replies to replies, in an inverted step layout.
As long as you don’t expand the messages, or sort them by date, any message indented below another represents a reply to the previous message.
If there are more replies than one to a given message, they will be indented equally; the message to which those replies thread is the first message up the list that is one step less indented (Figure 2).

I realize that the crosslink to wikispaces at the foot of my “Threaded message view…” post doesn’t work. I tried putting it in about the time that Blogger was entering another beta stage, from which it has emerged.
However, it is taking a while for the developers over at Wikispaces to re-establish cross-linking functionality with the “no longer beta” Blogger.
