Well, it might be useful.  It's orthogonal, addressing a different
issue.  You've got a thread, determined by either Subject: or
References:.  You divine its internal structure from References:.  You
see that an article's Subject: does not match its parent's.  Should
this article be the root of a new thread?  That question need not be
related to your basic thread-gathering criterion.
