Gostaria de saber se existe em inglês alguma expressão para o termo "raciocínio sequenciado". O contexto: Tem um interlocutor que toda vez que lhe passo um email ele responde em outro email (outro assunto). Isto perde o "raciocínio sequenciado" que pode ser obtido por exemplo se uma pessoa futuramente for ter acesso ao assunto. Preciso que ele responda sempre no mesmo email para que não se perca o "raciocínio sequenciado"! obrigado!

paper trail
Paper trail is not a translation, just a suggestion to get across the to-ing and fro-ing of an email conversation.

Evans (X)
: I like your thinking here, but it's difficult to talk of a 'paper trail' in the context of electronic communications. Could we invent an email expression equivalent to 'paper trail'?
