I feel that the "email context" feature can cause a lot of confusion under certain cases, I use gmail, here is an example.
I just got a reply from @CarolineSiede on this topic. I did not check my email till now but have been browsing the site so am aware of all the responses to date.
My Gmail shows me this:
This is already a problem cause the reply is from CarolineSiede not from sr105, but this is a separate issue that also needs addressing. Other emails look like this, so clearly there is something we can do:
Anyway...
I expand it and see:
Caroline's reply is buried in a see of context. It is very hard to me to find it cause the context is forcing an incorrect ordering of posts. (I am looking for "I just created a post and flagged it response")
From top to bottom I see:
- Post #1
- Post #7
- Post #2
- Post #3
- Post #4
- Post #5
- Post #6
- Post #8
- Post #7
- And so on...
It is very hard for me to make sense of my notification.
I totally get that in isolation the context stuff helps, but once grouped it makes me very confused.
I would like a user setting to disable this context thingy. And also question if it makes sense given we work so hard to group emails on a topic.
