My friend (who was at the Century of the Self screening on Monday) started a company that may make the e-mail interface simpler—I’d be excited to test their software, which we can either run ourselves or pay them to administer for us.

Bret—did you have an idea of how this UI would (or would not) deal with threads?

The kiosk UI (coming tomorrow?) should display the selected message within its thread, and allow you to scroll through the thread:
