It is not possible currently.

Not possible currently either. Each email from GForge trackers will
include the full thread. I didn't design it. That's how it is.

That's a GForge bad feature which I can't fix. Maybe our GForge host,
the Intevation, can. If they can't, maybe it is an issue in GForge in
general and we should ask GForge devs to fix that. Before doing that,
I'd love to hear from Intevation. Like I said, I have reported the
problem few weeks ago [1] and there was not answer yet.

That's what I asked for in [1].

That's what I asked about in this thread. So, should I? Mind that each
email from GForge trackers will include the whole thread (all
messages), with the original message on top, the most recent next, and
all older messages after that, in chronological order (newer first,
older next).

I don't think it is possible currently. And I'm not sure it is needed.
Other widely used tracking systems (Bugzilla, Trac) require one to use
an online interface too and users got used to it. What is missing in
GForge, is an option to CC an arbitrary email, eg. a mailing list, when
a consultation is needed.
