I don't think this will work. Mostly because other problems with email make threaded discussions impossible. Specifically users reply to the last mail you sent just to get the email address they want. COntent of the messages typically is irrelevant.
If we don't get contacts working correctly there is no hope for a feature like this being too useful. I hate trying to find the name of a person through address books and contact lists. At most organizations this things are huge and too time consuming to go through like a directory. So instead you need to remember the correct amount of letters to type so the name server recognizes the address you are looking for. Its rote memorization. It sucks. People rather just go five emails back and reply. There are ways to fix the contact problems but I doubt we will see them anytime soon.
Of course there is a chance that the feature would still be useful, if all my messages with one person can be seen in view, Its just like sorting by name, I could dig that.
