Already done - use the -1 (number one) option.

It should be easy to extend the patch I did last night for duplicates to
cope with missing message-ids as well. Hypermail expects that it can use
message-ids and in-reply-to fields as a definitive source of threading
information - of course that's not going to work but we can always fall
back to threading using the subject line.
The most likely source of archives with no message-ids I can think of
would be a simple conversion from a listserv notebook archive to a Unix
format mailbox.
