Pluto allows many ways to display a  mail box; 4 of them are
Threads-status, Threads-subject, Threads-score and Threads-latest.
I use the 2nd. In effect the reader sorts first by subject and
second connects the threads by using ... what?  The message ID
is present in Aaron's pstings but appears not to be used.
