If article editing is to be supported anyway, something in Gnus needs to be done, but I never edit articles so I don't know what is expected -- if the only use would to re-thread articles, maybe something faster than editing the article could be used. Hm. Perhaps doing this would make it possible to rethread articles in nntp groups as well.
