  I don't think you can.  You might be able to do something heinous with
the information in the big 'summary' view that hypermail can use.  It gives
you the URLs, the subject, and I think the author's 'nice' name (William
Perry instead of 'wmperry@aventail.com').

  I don't think you would want to do this with regexp's on the HTML though.
The 'threading' view is done by using nested lists.  Relatively easy to
handle from the parser (its even iterative! ;) though.

  If you want, I can mail you the output of the relevant chunks of the
parse tree of the oct96 linux kernel mailing list.
