That's pretty annoying, plus its not so much threading as it is grouping related messages into sub categories. I guess at least it keeps the inbox slightly cleaner and more organized but they could have done this a lot better

This is common behavior in Apple's Mail.app on the Mac, so I'm sure this is deliberate on Apple's part. It takes getting used to after using Gmail, but it didn't take me long to adjust.

It took me a while to adjust to Gmail's behavior—including my replies in the thread—if that means anything to you.
 
apples model seems out of date and inefficient compared to gmail. It makes sense to me to hide the ubiquitous information in an email, it makes sense to organize it in a conversational manner as that is essentially what is happening in email correspondence most of the time anyways.

Just my preference I guess.. its just strange for a company that stresses simplicity not to embrace a far more simplistic approach
