Star both of them. They show as expanded when you go to the thread.

Also, if you forward them and change the subject, they fork off.

When do you have 67 emails in a thread? Mailing lists? I hate mailing lists; they're completely unusable and antiquated.

I frequently get that many responses to a post on LJ, and they all get threaded together. If I want to save a couple of proper replies later, then they're in the middle of that.

I also frequently start the day with an email saying "Hi" to a friend or two, and then we're still replying when I leave the office in the evening. There'll be at least 50 emails in that thread, and freqently a fair bit more.

I find that starring the relevant ones works for me too.

Fortunately I don't have to worry about using workarounds like that any more - I can just read them all individually. Context is rarely a problem with email for me, so having them all grouped together doesn't gain me anything.

Ah. I still have my LJ go to yahoo... never bothered to change it.

All of my stuff goes to andrew@ducker.org.uk. It's the only email account I actually use. I used to also use andrew@notzen.com, but I haven't even checked that in an age.
