Cool. Now there are already 3 (!) requests from different
people (Stefan Kirch, You and me) for this feature :-).

Stop: PMInews is for OS/2 only, right? I'm only using Win32 (and
I don't want to switch to another OS) and I think that it will
be perhaps problematic to port PMInews to Win32. So there should
be a independent solution for PMMail.

I don't know the content of FOLDER.BAG and I currently don't have
the time to look at it. But: Doesn't PMMail store the In-Reply-To
string from the email header? Having this string it is pretty
easy to generate a threaded view.
