The only problem might be that Pawel wanted to do a feature freeze for
0.10 at the weekend last time I spoke to him. (I don't think we should
call it 1.0, that would be asking for trouble..) Perhaps we could save
threading as our 'goal' for the next development cycle.

I hope to get my mutliple address book patch in by then (just need to
port storing of vCards...). Idealy I would like to make alias exansion a
method of the address book object, but I'm not going to have time.

On a slightly related note to threading. Does any one know a decent
heuristic for doing Reply to group functionality? ie reply to mailing
list. It's something that bugs me a bit about balsa...

I guess the first thing to look at is List-ID and X-Mailing-List - but
after that? I don't think there are any standard headers that a mailing
list must set... Maybe Resent-From??
