The most annoying Gmail feature

The conversations! I don't think many of you would have seen this as a disturbing feature. Recently I had few conversations that run into a long thread. When I tried to do few things, I found that I had no way of doing anything. The conversation view doesn't give us any control. For my use cases, the traditional viewing works absolutely fine. But I have no way of doing it in Gmail. There is an option to suggest a feature for Gmail (Organization -> Conversation View changes). I wonder how many would suggest a change as this feature is not going to annoy the majority. Here are the two main things I cannot do with this conversation view: 1) I wanted to mark few emails unread, so that I can reply later. 2) I wanted to move/label few mails so that they don't appear in my Inbox. http://getsatisfaction.com/google/topics/why_cant_i_turn_off_conversation_threading_in_gmail_its_fatal_for_my_business http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/gmail/thread?tid=144645c24ddb362b&hl=en
