I've implemented it for mu[1], maybe some of it can be reusable for notmuch; see mu-threader.[ch] and mu-container.[ch] in http://gitorious.org/mu/mu/blobs/master/src/ (starting point is mu_threader_calculate). I didn't implement subject matching yet, but it does build the hierarchy as per JWZ and "References:". Best wishes, Dirk. -- Dirk-Jan C.
