I don't think the average user can really deal with multiple windows efficiently.
- anonymouz 14y agoTrue. But I'm very skeptical that they'd be able to deal with a given websites' reinvention of multiple windows either (or even recognize it as such).
- ImprovedSilence 14y agoI hate hate HATE new windows. It reminds me of IE or MS outlook manage this particular problem. I like this idea of a smaller chat like window, it's really blurring the line between chat and email once again. (Like google did when they started chaining emails together. Remember when that wasn't even a thing! I do, cuz I was amazed when google started doing it.) I think google really gets me when it comes to how I like to communicate via email..
- kenko 14y agoIf I'm reading the wikipedia article correctly, Mutt was threading email in 1995.
- ImprovedSilence 14y agohaha touche. Granted... Mutt was terminal based....
- anonymouz 14y ago> Mutt was terminal based And it still is, as many satisfied users will tell you.
- comex 14y agoGmail's innovation wasn't threading, but conversation view - displaying all the messages in a thread (linearly)in a large scrollable region rather than one at a time.
