I'm kind of curious now: how common is threading among mail clients now?
It's been a long time since I used anything aside from kmail or mutt;
back in my MS days I used The Bat, which supported threading, IIRC.

I use fetchmail+exim+procmail+mutt, which does this perfectly.  I dial
up, and run fetchmail to download my mail.  Simultaneously, exim's
outgoing mail queue is flushed.  Works rather neatly for me, even tho
Australia doesn't have timed local calls (our Government is working hard
to charge us for each breath we take though).
