Bug Description
I've read some of the other bugs, but I think this is different.
I would really like it if in conversations on bugs one could reply to a specific comment, and that thread could be handled and displayed somehow. For me, this occurs most when I reply to a bug with "hey I think this fixes it" and then get a bunch of replies that are yes and a couple no's. I would like to be able to reply to the no's and have a conversation there instead of tacking it on at the end where it's difficult to see where I'm replying.
I would like this threading to appear on the website, but also be in the e-mail headers so that my mail client can pick up on it as well.

In my experience, supporting threading encourages bug discussions to go off-topic more than it helps bugs get fixed.
If we supported this in the Web interface, perhaps we'd need a toggle to switch between chronological and threaded order. In some Web forums I've noticed people "reply" to the first comment solely so that their comment will appear early in the page.
