Viewing conversations (replies | threads)

[Arfs6]

To view a post's replies, you'll have to open it in the direct message buffers. Apart from the fact that replies aren't direct messages, I personally don't like switching to another buffer to be able to read replies.
I am suggesting creating an easier way to view replies / threads. The two approach I have on mind are:

1. Displaying the replies in a dialog. The dialog should have a button that lets a user go back to the previous reply. i.e. If a user opens a reply in the reply dialog, it should be on the current dialog. Clicking the go back button should take the user one reply back. Then a close button.
2. Displaying the replies on a side panel. When a user requests to view a reply, it should open a buffer with the replies beside the current buffer. The thing about this approach is how to take care of replies of replies.
   What do you think?
