No. ... *ooppss* ... Sorry. I ment to say:

Define thread.

Define it _objective_, not only "I think a thread is ...", define _all_
criteria that lead to 'a message belonging to a thread'.
Now take these criteria you defined and do a virual 'select whole
thread (which this message belongs to)' for every one.

Now tell me the difficulties when having in mind there are four
possibilities to visualize threads in TB! with 'select thread' ... And
see why it's safer the option ain't present when 'threading' is set to
'None'.
