Nope. This is based on capturing the index pages on Yahoo groups, since I
already had a robot written for similar pages elsewhere on Yahoo. I don't
get any of the header info. I've done threading for e-mail in the past -- I
wrote one of the very first Web archiving programs like that, but it ran on
Macintoshes with AppleScript and HyperCard, starting in 1993 or so. Not
very portable. One of these days, I'll whip up something portable...
