Never work, people will not bother and the meta mail, every other minute, to
open the thread the "right way" will be PITA.

Beside from what I can tell you are asking to view your email in a
"threaded" modes, the email standard has supported thread views from the
beginning, is it still  in the email header info, just set you email client
to view the list "threaded" mode, you can do it for yourself with out
bothering anyone. That said most people view in time order because the
thread view are harder to work with. What the nabbel subgroups are a
threaded view.
