    Found the threaded/nested options under Comment Control
    on my preferences page after logging in.

    "Nested" displays entire messages, indented in the response
    hierarchy. That's good but makes it impossible to get a sense
    of the thread.

    "Threaded" displays mostly indented lists of message headers,
    with the occasional message (for some reason) shown in its
    entirety.

    That gives you a "big picture" view, but clicking on a link
    replaces the page you are on with one that has several nested
    messages.

    What's missing is the kind of dynamic view control you get
    in an outliner -- functionality that only really makes sense
    when implemented on the client side of things.
