I can understand this, and appreciate the concern, but there are ways we
could alleviate that, by delivering the page in chunks, or even by showing
the first message and then clickable headers to load the others (via ajax if
available). Rich functionality is going to be expensive sometimes; if we're
going to have features like this I think we should go ahead and make them
work the way users expect them to.

That said, I'm moving this back to Bogus and all of that can obviously wait
for specific threading enhancements both to the mailbox view and the thread
view. I have no problem with it waiting for the Horde 4 MIME library as
well.
