I agree with most of what Nick said. However, it's nice if you find a 
thread on something like gmane that you can get all the information in 
one message, so you don't have to hunt up and down the thread. So I like 
to see:

* Original problem
** Quoted stuff showing whats been suggested and if it failed the reasons.
** Final solution and other suggestions

In summary I would just like to look at the last message in a thread to 
gather all the relevant information.

Ian.
