I am jumping in here because of the above statement.

I recently released a program called Power Listviewer, which DOES
implement threading both for message digests and individual messages. 
Let me assure you that the work involved is more than just "a few
(trivial) lines of code".  I repeatedly delayed the release of my
program because these "few" lines of code turned out to be more
complicated than you can believe.  At the present it is more than 400
lines of C and C++ code., not counting the comments.

Feel free to check out Power Listviewer.  It is available (written
using the same codebase) both for OS/2 and the Win-32 series of
operating systems (URL is at bottom).
