Hi Vitaly,

I've been digging around in this stuff, and I guess I'm still a bit lost.  The main problem is that I don't know what kind of strategy fits in well with WL as it is today.  Perhaps I need to create a variation of virtual folders that includes whole threads for all contained messages?  Figuring out the whole thread is complicated by the fact that some messages only have in-reply-to: and others have references:, which means, potentially, many searches for matching fields to find all of a message's siblings.  Anything you can do to help move me along would be a great help.

Thanks,
