I'm a heavy user of Google Chat at work. Whenever I encounter a space with in-line threading, I ask the others if we can switch to the topical structure (with separate threads grouped together and brought to the bottom for new messages, but no in-line replies). Usually everyone agrees.
If in-line replies become the only option, I'll have the choice of wasting countless time to dig through past replies, or just stop checking chat altogether.

I'd like to point out that the strange occurrences of the "=3D" string are due to the fact that the message was originally a "quoted-printable" encoded email and for whatever reason this artifact wasn't removed when posted to the web. Perhaps this was pipermail's fault?
Anyway, when reading the code, you're safe in assuming "=3D" is just a single plain old equal sign. In the "quoted-printable" encoding scheme the two characters following an equal sign are the hex value of the intended character. In effect, equal signs need to be escaped using the "=3D" sequence.
This drove me a little nuts as I was reading and trying to code switch between the assorted languages used in the examples.
And I thought it was ascii for “goat dick”
I once tried to rebrand an in-house, purely dev facing product. I failed.
