Hmm. I'd certainly prefer it to stack deeper than to arbitrarily break
threads. It kinds looks like they break when a message lacks a
"references:" header, but not always.
(Another thing i'd like is for the message dates to be include in the
indexes, *at least* in the sort-by-date index. But i know i won't have
time to add this for a while...)
