Does Hubspot retain thread (to recipient) in a non-sequenced email?

Hi Dan, thank you for taking the time to respond to my inquiry. While it is great I can see the records all together, what I would like to do is compose emails in Hubspot and have the receipient see everything together. It sounds like to do this, I need to follow up with them in my gmail and not from within Hubspot as it will create a brand new thread. Am I reading your reply correctly? Thank you again.
