	ordering != threading
	ordering is less restrictive relationship

	has anything useful come out of this thread?

	well, i checked rfc822, 1122 and 1123,  Message-ID header
	is not required.  if not presendt, the sendmail on freefall
	will add it.  same is true of the date.  (in reality these
	depend upon the M and D flags for the mailer, but all 
	mailers on freefall have these flags set)

	regarding the Message-ID header, Bryan Costales writes:
	"This header must be declared in the configuration file."
	wonder where this requirement is laid down?
