It does have a field to replace the "subject" line.  I brought up the
idea of replacing that with a flexible scheme, to modify any header as
per user wishes.  I don't recollect the arguments, but noone seemed to
rejoice over the suggestion.

The draft allow for vendor specific stuff though.  When I install a
server that support annotations and get some time to play with it,
I'll add a vendor specific way for reparenting.

There's another draft to do threading on the server.  It doesn't look
like it ever will support user re-parenting though. :-/
