I did think of this but since I'm playing the devil's advocate, I
didn't want to do your job for you. :-)

How about this: Subject line. Your message's subject is "Some
subject". All incoming messages might have "re: some subject".

This is weak, I know. The ideal solution is to have PMMail/2 generate
its own message-ids.
