Please concentrate on (2). After reading all arguments given in this 
thread I have reconsidered my set of conditions and now don't longer 
think that we should try to figure out whether a reply is actually a 
reply or not. It's simply not possible to do so.

If you still want to consider (1) then please add a "break thread" 
action to KMail which can be used to manually reset the replyToIdMD5 
(and possibly also the In-reply-to header).

Regards,
Ingo
