We actually could do this now (it has been on my TODO list forever).   
No need for this new code to do this.  What this threading code *does*  
get us, above and beyond the c-client function, is the ability to  
thread by something other than REFERENCES (ORDEREDSUBJECT is defined  
in RFC 5256 but not tremendously useful) and, the big gain, the  
ability to get a thread tree for a certain subset of messages in the  
mailbox which will allow threading sort when hiding deleted messages  
and displaying search results in a mailbox (yay).
