Message Views should have two extra options per view: one that makes the view
additionally show replies to all messages that match the criteria, and one that
makes it show all messages in a thread that contains any matching messages.
Because some people may want to create a "show replies to my messages" view, or
a "show threads this person has posted to" view, or whatever. Could be useful.

It might look something like this:

When this view is selected, display only messages that match:
( ) Match all of the following  (O) Match any of the following
______________________________________________________________________
|(criteria)                                                          |
|                                                                    |
|                                                                    |
|                                                                    |
|                                                                    |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And:
(O) Only these
( ) All replies to these
( ) All messages in threads containing these
