Grouping Email Conversations

Grouping Email Conversations

I work as a middle man between clients and vendors. Currently I am
using Gmail because of the conversation view feature. Conversation
view enables me to easily track the lifecycle of the relationship
between my clients and vendors documented in the emails. However it
only works until someone changes the subject of the massage or sends
me an email that is related to the discussion however not as a reply,
but as new massage. I am looking for an inventive way to group all of
the emails concerning particular issue between client and a vendor
into one conversation. I understand that with change of the subject
line or with a new massage that is not a direct reply to something
that was previously sent, it will be impossible to do that
automatically. However I was wondering if anyone had any ideas how
group several individual email conversations into one big one, with
the minimal amount of effort. I like to keep it all in the Gmail
because of the excellent searching possibilities, use of flags,
automatic time stamp, on incoming and outgoing massages, and lack of
need for lengthy documentation of the lifecycle of the relationship
between clients and vendors.
Any ideas?

Pretty well any decent email app will do that, e.g. TheBat! from Ritlabs
or Barca 2 from Pocosystems. They will both allow you to filter incoming
messages by "From" into individual folders for each client. Within the
folders you can thread the messages or sort them at the click of a mouse.
