Maybe the best thing to do is to write a script which extracts threads. Then you just keep adding threads to a group until it gets larger than N messages, then start the next group. Let T be an empty thread. You find a message R (the root of the thread) which does not have a References header. You add it to the thread. So T now contains one message. Let M be the set of Message-ID headers for all messages in T. You find a new message X and you see that its References header mentions one of the Message-IDs in M. So you add X to T, and you add X's Message-ID to M, and repeat. See? kai -- Linux provides a nice `poweroff' command, but where is `poweron'?
