I am looking for a way to organize OL2002 and 2003 e-mail by "thread?" This would be sort of like the way the posts appear in this forum (at least the way I see it in Netscape-yes, I am a die-hard!). Such a view, for example, might start with an incoming message from Bill Gates (right!), say the one where he is going to give me $100 for every e-mail I send; my response thanking him profusely and asking for my payment would eventually show up under that; his reply that I hopefully don't look as dumb as I sound would show up beneath that, etc. Or maybe a thread starts with my e-mail to Bill complaining about some Microsoft thing; it would be followed by his insistence that his software represents the pinnacle of all civilization, both east and West; that would be followed by my idiotic reply that he is overlooking Mozart or maybe Snoop Dog or Howard Stern or maybe the Miami Dolphins in their prime; followed by his reply that I hopefully don't look as dumb as I sound

Even if it is possible to do this, could there might be reasons not to? It seems to me that such a view would let me see who has responded to my messages or whether I have responded to theirs, without having to jump back and forth between Inbox and Sent Items.

Make a folder in your Inbox, move messages sent into there as well as moving messages you receive.  Or, use a Rule.
