Critmail does a much better job of threading messages (at a nontrivial cost
in cpu time), mainly looking through the bodies of prior messages for quoted
text. It should be possible to integrate Critmail with Hypermail, but it's a
big enough task that I'm unsure whether it will get done (I'd integrate
Critmail with a recent version of Hypermail if I were pretty sure that the
result would get into the main Hypermail distribution, but I suspect that
by the time I finished, Hypermail would have changed enough that it would
still take some effort).
