Not sure if this is a good idea ... but if it is implemented, a suggested UI: To mark message B as a reply to message A, drag message B onto message A. You want a special border for message A when it is being hovered over, and a special cursor too -- the same one as is used when moving a message to a specific folder. To break such a link, drag message B to a different position in the thread pane. The same border and cursor should apply in this case as when linking the messages. In addition, the same inter-item line should be used as when rearranging bookmarks. Both of these actions should only be possible when the thread pane is in threaded mode.
I often find that in reply to someone's message, I need to forward a different message to them. This generally drops the References: trail. It would be great if I could drag their message into the References: header to restore that trail. Alice sends message A to Bob asking do you still have that document from last week? I can't find my copy. Bob reads message A Bob has document from last week in message B1 Bob selects message B1 and hits 'forward' Bob gets a message composition window for new message B2 (message B1 is an attachment to message B2) Bob drags message A into References: header in B2 Bob sends message B2 Alice receives message B2 and it is threaded under her A because the References: headers were appropriate. I think it's a good idea, but maybe not something enabled by default -matt

This is developed for mutt (of course :-). See patch http://cedricduval.free.fr/mutt/index.php3#threads and http://cedricduval.free.fr/download/index.php3#threads. Better description of UI is in the mutt manual (http://mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-2.html#threads). Cheers. Matej
