Tag messages in thread index mode and hit # (Force tagged threads to
be joined into the same thread).  Back when I needed that
functionality more I had a bit flaky feeling about it.  It randomly
just wouldn't work.  Dunno how it is now.  Haven't really used it.

At some point I played with the idea a bit.  Most of the time if you
get a reply without refs from a particular address, all the other
mails from that address will be refs-free too.  Also the refs-free
repliers tend to be top-posters.  And replies usually are received
within relatively short time after the original.  Ideally you should
be able to take advantage of those and be able to rebuild refs
relatively accurately.

Once you manually build an in-reply-to ref, automatic detector would
know to regard that sender as a usual suspect.  In addition to the
subject, you could also use the body of the top-post reply to
automatically find out the source of the quote.

Not that I know of.  I remember trying (and failing) to do it in sup
console.  I bet you can do it if you just know your way around how the
message is indexed.

It worked for me, but turned not to be undoable.
And is there a way to extract message(s) from the thread to a new one/split thread?

Hello, if you use mailing lists you probably have the same problemas as me. 
The problem is that some people use some rather "clunky" emails that don't use the
"In-reply-to:" tag and they add things like "Re:" (or the even more annoying 
"Re: Re: ----" ) and the the measse doesn't go to the correct thread in the inbox,
and as you know this makes thing very hard to read or follow a complex subject.

Is there a way for me to manually add a message to a thread ? So it gets more 
readable later ? I am sorry if i miss somthing here, but i gave a good read a
t the doc and the wiki and i found nothing.

Also a way of threating this in the before-add-message hook would be very cool.

Thanks already i am realling loving sup.
