I'm the one sending the emails, but lots of people receive them. Can't have them all switch.
It seemed as if your complaint about incorrect threading was about the client, hence my suggestion to use a better client. Are you saying that if people reply using the gmail client the reply-to header is wrong? Then yes, using mutt will not fix this.

They could have two services - Google Search and Google Secretary.
They could. Or they could just do Google Secretary (because they think it's better) and let competitors try Google Search under a different brand. Pretty much what's happened really. Turns out not that many people want Google Search when they have the choice of Google Secretary instead.
How do you know? Popularity of Google Search is an indication, but its not like people decide which search engine they use when they install Google Chrome. Do you think ordinary people are even aware there's an alternative to Google Search such as Duck Duck Go?

The problem is I don't want to find relevant results. If results I looking for are relevant, than I need not a great search engine to find them.

>Search quality is no longer a core competency of Google, the Internet’s premiere search engine. For example: Two people type the same search string, each receives different results. While I sympathise with the general anti-social-media stance, it's clear from this phrase that OP does not understand the most basic elements of how internet services function at scale. Of course Google serves different results to differ…
While I sympathise with your vote-for-mediocrity, it's clear you don't understand Google et al. with their army of A* engineers and $uit$. You sir are the product. By constantly telling you are the median, you shall become the median. More Median People === More Profit$ Great article. "You Will Not Understand This." how appropiate.
