Why that?
should be like: [summary 0/xx]
|- [patch 1/xx] |- [patch 2/xx]
....
not: [summary 0/xx] `- [patch 1/xx] `- [patch 2/xx] `- ....
On contrary. The second form is much more useful as it also indicates the order in which patches should be applied - too often people forget the -n.
the numbering indicates the proper order and that is what -n controls. it's not directly related to threading as that is an independent option --chain- reply-to.
the latter makes things a lot more painful for people to parse with their e- mail clients.
Huh? To me that makes no difference. Actually, I like the second form better.
you must either not thread your e-mails properly, or your monitor is insanely wide and/or you use insanely small fonts. as soon as you hit 10+ depth on threads, subjects easily start getting truncated in the display. seeing a few to no characters in the e-mail reader for a subject is a pita. if it's all the same thread, that's one thing as the subject doesnt really change, but in this case they arent.
