I'm an user. I have several times been irritated by the fact that messages entitled "Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender" are threaded together, even though they have no other relation to each other, causing them to appear high up in my mailbox instead of at the bottom.
It's less irritating than the MH users who send "In-reply-to: Message from <email@address> with message ID <msg@id>", causing the server to thread all replies to the same person together (I regard it as a bug in RFC 2822 that this is still legal, btw) - but it still violates the principle of least astonishment.
