It would make sence if you have a mailer that handels threads and you
are accully following the whole thread. On second thougth: in this case
you could just as easly delete the whole mail. You don't read it any
how.

It doesn't make sence for ppl who don't have a mailer with thread
capabilty or don't read the whole thread.
