This would break for some of the more low-traffic mailing-lists I'm 
subscribed to.

Last time this discussion came up, we found that
Use In-reply-to
else use references
else use subject ( mod "re" / mod "was" )
else try matching quotes in the body
else give up

might be a good algorithm with the more expensive body test being only 
done on user command.

For the cases, where cheap solutions fail, add a 
X-KMail-In-Reply-To-Override: <msgid of parent>
header to the message. DnD'ing messages into threads was also considered 
Good Stuff.
