Just to add another idea to the pot....
Is it possible to have the threaded list of messages displayed on the page before all the flat mode message bodies? (or at least have the option to)? Couple that with a link in the header area of each flat mode message to the appropriate threaded subject listing so that people can click that link to return to the threads list at the top of the page to see what the flat mode message was in response to...?
