'''Logic'''

Messages are represented only by the person (avatar, random image, name, or initials of name). We do not show subject, date in this view. Read/unread is shown by visual style.

Replies are shown using lines connecting the reply to the replied-to message.

It highlights the currently selected message. Clicking on a node selects that message and allows to read it, and also focuses the graph on that msg.

'''Placement'''

We have a vertical and horizontal version (for desktop and mobile, respectively)

It is shown between message list and message.

It should be narrow (or small, respectively). If there are too many responses, deeper replies are grouped using a "+20" (number of msgs not showing) next to the bottom-most or right-most message.

'''Algorithm'''

If a msg is a reply, it's indented one level more to the right, and a short curvy diagonal line joins the line to its left.

... unless it's the only reply, in which case it's not indented, but directly below the previous message, and has a line straight up.

... unless (space issue) it has multiple replies and there already is a message to its right, which also has replies.
