Not really sure. My professional body's alias service now uses EveryCloud for its antispam. initially it also blocked your mails as 'spam', by the daily notification allows me to white list that. However the forwarded emails go to both home & work, and only the home ISP (cheap but annoying) then has no white list mechanism and no way of seeing what they binned.

Not quite, something like: 2016-07-20 21:10 . . . . ` [PATCH v4 8/8] doc: revisions - clarify reachability examples Philip Oakley 2016-07-20 22:22 . . . . ` Junio C Hamano 2016-08-11 21:50 . . . . ` [PATCH v5 00/12] Update git revisions Philip Oakley 2016-08-11 21:50 . . . . . ` [PATCH v5 01/12] doc: use 'symmetric difference' consistently Philip Oakley 2016-06-25 19:49 ` Junio C Hamano 2016-06-27 13:37 ` Philip Oakley 2016-06-27 15:08 ` Junio C Hamano 2016-06-27 15:39 ` Philip Oakley

I haven't filled in the last ones because there are no matching follow on replies, e.g to Junio' s 2016-06-25 19:49 message. (I may not have put in enough of the lead either) However for ease of formatting I guess that simply setting the indent to be '. ' rather than ' ' (both 2 chars) would create the impression of the messages being on an indent grid

If rather than looking at those below junio's reply, you try and look at which message he was replying to, it's very hard (It's more than a full screen scroll up), hance the request for the alignment 'column of dots'. I think he was replying to my 2016-06-25 13:50, but it's not easy to be sure.

I feel that the '¦' style chars will fill the screen too much (with '.' being the minimalist I can think of), but it's a personal choice.
