@riking: I didn’t think of the complexities that would imply by letting people update their posts.

I think if the philosophy is to have a “flat tree”, then all replies to the original post should link to very first post id.

Setting`In-Reply-To` to the last post made will make the email client display the conversation as a tree with as many levels as posts are in the thread.  
So I guess implementing the changes I suggest in

- [Discourse Emails not threaded properly in some Email clients - #6 by eksperimental](https://meta.discourse.org/t/emails-not-threaded/44444/6)  
will suffice

thank you guys
