There are *so* many programmers using variants of this UI that you would think someone would have addressed it by now.
But you never know, maybe not. Certainly everyone who does multi-posts seems to be struggling with doing it by hand, from my point of view, so that would seem to cry out for the need for some fancier textpost-splitting auto-sequence-number thingie, in emacs or command line or something.
Conceivably a web search would find the thing if it exists. I personally almost never do long posts, so I just grin and bear it when it comes up.

I think for protocol reasons it is necessary to try and connect up the thread using quote-posts, however any particular client understands that. If you visit the topmost toot of the thread, you at least get the whole (cons) tree. @dougmerritt @wrog @kentpitman @ramin_hal9001 @cdegroot
