I don’t know which email client you use, but they usually have an option
to sort messages by thread -- this is how I handle my git folder with
Thunderbird; it takes one click to switch from plain view to threaded
view, and two to isolate a specific thread.  public-inbox.org also does
this.  Some don’t though, and gmail specifically has weird opinions on
which message is part of which thread.

On the other hand, I don’t really like non-threaded means of
communication, and I am very confused as to why modern services neglect
this feature -- there may be a good reason, I’m not an expert in
human-computer interaction :).  But personally, I find it very hard to
follow issues on github (or even IRC logs, for that matter) when there
is more than 2 people involved.
