Back on topic, this is something we really want to improve but it is a nightmare of a problem cause we have to parse text, to be honest I am not sure how “done” this will be for 2.0, we may have to bump it again to another release.

I think the use case of “oooooooops” this email chain just got **out of control** better move it to Discourse is something we really really want to address. But it will take time.

So I guess you are kind of stuck doing it by hand for now and rebooting the conversations. One thing that can help a bit is if you post a recap for the 20 or so topics and then invite the participants there.

It is really important to have “the right” tone set on a new Discourse instance and it sound like this is a great opportunity cause you have great example topics.
