I'm really wondering what's the rationale behind forwarding a fix that has
been applied upstream in newer Bugzilla releases already. Newer Bugzillas
do have a specific flag to manage Gmail's threading directly on the email
preferences for each single user.

This was just a temporary measure until we upgrade our Bugzilla to the 4.2
release. Up to you, really.
