I've decided that threading isn't the mailer's job. I don't want
to have to wade through a mailbox full of lists when I'm connecting
from off site, and have shut down my on-site mailer.
Lots of folk use procmail, but since I'm using qmail as an MTA,
I thought I'd see if I could use it's native methods, and it's
really easy, with a shell script that's just a case $SENDER
block.

The best threading mail reader that I've come across is mutt,
but that might be too traditional for your option 1.
If you find a pretty, lightweight X-based MUA that does a good job
with threads (and MIME, and PGP), I'd like to know about it too.
XFMail isn't acceptable, because I've got 130M of mbox mail
boxes in a deep directory hierarchy, and I'd like to keep them
that way. The last time I looked at XFMail it insisted on an
un-nested mh-directory style of mailbox. Is it still the case?
Nate: it's a while since I looked at VM on XEmacs. I found its
layout cluttered and it's key sequences awkward. How configurable
is it, really? Do you use it as it comes out of the box?
