I've thought about having this be the default behavior because I often
do that as well. There are two ways it could go: actually add a
References: header (or a in-reply-to?), which would be pretty
nonstandard, I think, or just do it in the index itself.
The dirty secret of the thread joining (which I've just realized now) is
that the joins won't be preserved if you reindex those messages. I need
to add another blob of information somewhere to preserve that stuff. If
I added the header to the outgoing message, the threading would be
preserved, of course...
