Recently, K. Haley has been attaching source code patches to bugzilla
tickets to implement features in Pan.  Bugzilla triggers a followup
message each time a comment or attachment is sent, which is threaded
underneath the original messages that I have further back in my inbox.

If Thunderbird sorted threads the way Pan does, I would never have seen
those patches.

Anyway.  IMO there are clearly enough people who disagree with me that
I'll make it an optional feature. :)
