<VBG> I take your point.... :-) But it was a serious request, if it
could be implemented it surely is of more use than a screen full of Re:
blah blah!
I was on the beta team for VA for many years. I still find it's
threading is the definitive standard, Peter Clapham once detailed
exactly how he achieved this, and the message numbering VA used wasn't
really used for this, yet the app managed well in the absence of
any Reference To: headers.
