If I'm not mistaken, however, most readers use the In-Reply-To field
properly, meaning that you have a (hopefully!) good and reliable way of
linking messages.  Agreed; good luck (since I can think of at least one
commonly used security hole disguised as a mail client which abuses the
In-Reply-To field along with almost every other field in the header).

I'd have to agree with that, at least for the moment.  I'm more
interested in this from a, well, interest point of view at the moment -
if something comes of it later, then so be it.
