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.
