Interesting to know.

I just checked Agent Help, and here's what I found:
Enable threading by subject
Check this box to have Agent include messages with the same subject
under the same thread, even if the follow-up message doesn't contain
a valid reference to the original. People frequently mispost
responses and this helps match follow-ups with the message to which
they are responses.
Clearly, I have this option selected. What this means is that Agent
threads first using In-Reply-To and References; if these don't exist
or are invalid, it then uses Subject. It's very nice that this is an
option.
Also from Agent Help:
Start a New thread...
Check this box to create a new thread when a follow-up Usenet
message's subject is different than the main message's subject.
When unchecked, Agent attaches follow-up messages to the
original even when the subject of the thread changes.
Expand thread if necessary to highlight current body pane
message
Check this box to have Agent expand the thread in the Message
List pane, so that the current message is visible.
Initial thread setting
Select the thread state you wish to see in the Message List
pane whenever you open Agent. The choices are collapse all
threads, expand all threads, expand unread threads (i.e., any
thread containing unread messages), and expand threads with
unread bodies.
Three more very nice options. (Even though Usenet is mentioned, these
all work for email, too.)
How about it, Bat programmers?
