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.
