A method is carried out by storing information describing configurations of discussion threads formed of respective series of EMTs that are exchanged among at least two individuals. The discussion threads have a root EMT, zero or more reply EMTs, and a last offspring EMT. The method is further carried out by compacting the EMT discussion threads, and indexing the compacted EMT discussion threads.
