Actually if (as apparently many people seem to manage to do) you have a
single starting email, with all the patches as replies to that first
email, it looks a lot better, and is much easier to follow.

Seperate threads would be bad.

foobar patch 0 (usually a summary/overview)
+-foobar patch 1
+-foobar patch 2
+-foobar patch 3
+-foobar patch 4
+-foobar patch 5

is much nicer than

foobar patch 0
+-foobar patch 1
  +-foobar patch 2
    +-foobar patch 3
      +-foobar patch 4
        +-foobar patch 5

which seems to be what git does itself.
