I agree with all of this, however note that for threading to work properly
*all* contributors to a thread should use properly threading MUAs.
Unfortunately on this list (I don't mean on this specific thread) there
seems to be a small number of people who are unable to grasp this. Thus one
occasionally sees posts that are semantically part of a single thread but
in fact appear in multiple threads from the point of view of even correctly
configured readers. Nothing much to be done about it really, other than
reminding them from time to time.
