Side-note on Google's communication systems, I watch an email thread at work where it went:

    1) Here are my questions
    2) I've added responses below in BLUE
    3) Additional feedback in GREEN
    4) More responses in BROWN

and it really made me miss Google Wave. Inline replies within long emails are not well handled.

Is that similar to the functionality provided by Twist from Doist? It's not email based but it seems to be a hybrid of Email and Slack. I've only messed with it a few times and never with Google Wave, but it sounds similar to what you're describing.

I'm not familiar with Twist but from a quick glance I don't see a similar function.

Wave let you post a reply in the middle of someone else's message, so that if you were presented with a whole list of questions you could answer each of them inline, and other people could tag on to those new conversation threads in place.
