For me the OG for threaded discussions is Usenet.

I remember reading threads using a UI like this (not my screenshot but this is the client I used, MacSOUP): http://www.fen-net.de/mac/bilder/macsoup/Thread.gif There were also keyboard shortcuts to make navigating efficient.

Having a Usenet gateway seems like it would make a lot more sense from a technical standpoint than an email gateway
