There's a fairly serious readability problem when someone has posted a
patch as a subthread of some more general discussion. For example, look
at the "adaptive ndistinct estimator" patch: it's not obvious which
attachment is the actual patch, and whether the latest email has
anything to do with the patch is entirely arbitrary.

Either there needs to be an ironclad "always start a new thread for a
new patch" rule, or the app needs to be smarter about threading.
