If you read it carefully, it explains exactly what and WHY the original mozilla 
(we're talking about Netscape version 3) used to do to thread messages. The 
newer mozilla *stopped* doing it that way, hence Jamie's rant. Please could you 
explain why you consider this "broken" ...?

Outlook relies almost completely on the Subject. Most people I see here using 
outlook don't appear to be doing any kind of threading anyway, just newest at 
the top.
