Yupe but sometimes our MTA setting and limitation make us do what the
best we can have. For instance MDaemon users who use DomainPOP
configuration and activate "download base on message size (less size
first)" make your threading by reference will look bad (same happen with
me now, if I enable that feature in retchmail). 

Mercury have the "limitation" in time stamping when more than one
messages come in same (nearest) time, people who use Mercury and MUA
which not having "receiving date" field will not aware about this, but
not TB! users who often use Threading Mode <g>. 

Other case when our primary MX busy and the message must go to secondary
MX first (one of some others reason why I set thebat.dutaint.com domain
only have single MX).
