Hmm, do other emails from other users get blocked?
I wonder if it's lack of DKIM (which gets invalidated by the
list sig vger appends) or something else...

So, right now, it's:

2016-07-20 21:10               ` [PATCH v4 8/8] doc: revisions - clarify reachability examples Philip Oakley

And you would rather see something like:

2016-07-20 21:10       .       ` [PATCH v4 8/8] doc: revisions - clarify reachability examples Philip Oakley
2016-07-20 22:22       .       ` Junio C Hamano

2016-06-27 15:39             ` Philip Oakley

?

Actually, my initial inclination was to use the '|' character
which is what mutt does

2016-07-20 21:10       |       } [PATCH v4 8/8] doc: revisions - clarify reachability examples Philip Oakley
2016-07-20 22:22       |       } Junio C Hamano
2016-08-11 21:50       |       ` [PATCH v5 00/12] Update git revisions Philip Oakley

It should be doable, and the '`' immediately following the last
'|' probably ought to be a link to the parent, too.

I would also like to use '}' (as above) or '+' where mutt would
use "├─>" or just '├', but I don't think I can introduce multibyte
chars without causing problems for some users.

Anyways, it's definitely on my ever-growing todo list.
