feature request: graft and prune functions
Hi again! ...and then David @ BigFoot said... % Hi, folks -- % % How can I manually update (or create) the References: header in mutt? I Well, I got absolutely no answers to this one. Clearly I should try again :-) I realized that what I wanted was a compose function that might be called "graft", where you graft a message onto a thread tree (maybe even specifying where by browsing the index, hmmm) and thus create the References: header. Partnered with graft, though probably called from the index instead (though graft might be useful in the index, too) is prune, which lets you disconnect errant subthreads caused by someone 'r'eplying to a message but for a completely different topic, like those people that use old emails as an address book.
