Q: iOS 10 Mail app - threads are impossible to read with Outlook-style reply-all (no quoting)
Outlook and the old Mail app both showed you a structured list of emails in a thread; if you wanted to dive in to an email you have to click again on that email.
The new thread view is essentially impossible to use now, since there is no view that shows every email in a list. Instead, if reply-all on your email service doesn't add the vertical quoting and marks a horizontal line between contextual emails, you end up seeing the ENTIRE thread in each individual email. That is 100% fine if you can also have a view where you can see every truncated email in a list. But that is no longer the case.
I'm going to be forced to turn off threads entirely since work (Outlook) mail is impossible to read for me in the current state.
iPhone 6, iOS 10
