I switched to Firefox a couple of weeks ago and have been very happy. It does not have the "create link" feature you describe, though it does allow opening the link in a new tab. Typically what I do is to have one Firefox windows open for each category of tasks at hand email, news, stocks, etc (say one window for hotmail, webmail, yahoo mail all in the same window but under different tabs). I sometimes click on the reply buttons until I make it to the end, then I back out to the original post and press forward to read the messages in the right order. It works but is not convinient. You tree view as shown here reviews-zdnet.com.com is the right idea, but is an overkill for the batch reading of a conversation, imo. When you batch read a conversation in a thread, all that is needed is a fallow up of the replies. In cases that there is more than one reply to a post, simply display multiple links to the reply "fallow the conversation on reply (2)" "fallow conversation on reply (3) etc, fallowed by the first reply to the message (which is why it is not needed). I don't mind the extra click to traverse the whole tree. cheers, ST
