[Users] Connecting unrelated messages to become a thread ?

[Viatrix]

hm i found this note in the RFC defining the e-mail format (5322):

> Note: Some implementations parse the "References:" field to
> display the "thread of the discussion".  These implementations
> assume that each new message is a reply to a single parent and
> hence that they can walk backwards through the "References:" field
> to find the parent of each message listed there.  Therefore,

however the In-Reply-To field explicitly can specify multiple parents,
so perhaps such a script should modify the In-Reply-To field instead of
the References field?
