ISTR that when I first set up AOL 4.0, it had an option for filing received 
email in threads.  I didn't choose that, and don't see that option nowadays 
(maybe have to be online to look for it).  Often now I do wish I had it -- I 
sometimes manually sort out saved email into self-created folders, thus emulating 
threading.

But I did choose threading for its NetNews reader, and that works fine.

The only disadvantage of threading is that if someone replies to a thread 
some days after it's died out, that new mail or article will be filed way up on 
your screen where you might never notice it.  --Mike K.
