Steps to reproduce:

I was running to install TB 115 because of the card views, because that "finally, there are the "sender" and "subject" are on two lines and I could use vertical view. But what a disappointment that the card view cripples the threading. Please provide full threads as with "table view"

Actual results:

Card view provided just threading "crippled" into single level

Expected results:

Provide proper threading as the "table view" provides, i.e. properly nest everything multiple levels.

We decided to not show the threading level in cards view because there's not enough space and even 2 or 3 levels of indentations would make the experience pretty bad in vertical view.
Threads in general will be improved a lot in the span of next year thanks to our rebuild of the database and with the addition of a real threading interaction, threads ordering, and threads history spotlight.
For now the cards view has limitations compared to the table view on purpose.
