I don't think that's completely right. There may be many reasons why replies 
to newer messages are sent before older ones, so attempting to add this code, 
even if it kicks in only for when the maximum number of replies is reached, is 
potentially a source of bugs.

The bug should be fixed where the bug is: in the daemon in question.
