Not really sure. My professional body's alias service now uses EveryCloud 
for its antispam. initially it also blocked your mails as 'spam', by the 
daily notification allows me to white list that. However the forwarded 
emails go to both home & work, and only the home ISP (cheap but annoying) 
then has no white list mechanism and no way of seeing what they binned.

Not quite, something like:

I haven't filled in the last ones because there are no matching follow on 
replies, e.g to Junio' s 2016-06-25 19:49 message.
(I may not have put in enough of the lead either)
However for ease of formatting I guess that simply setting the indent to be 
'. ' rather than '  ' (both 2 chars) would create the impression of the 
messages being on an indent grid

If rather than looking at those below junio's reply, you try and look at 
which message he was replying to, it's very hard (It's more than a full 
screen scroll up), hance the request for the alignment 'column of dots'. I 
think he was replying to my 2016-06-25 13:50, but it's not easy to be sure.

I feel that the '¦' style chars will fill the screen too much (with '.' 
being the minimalist I can think of), but it's a personal choice.
