There is two options, I think:

1. only force unprefixed messages to top level if they would be threaded by 
subject, which means they have no In-Reply-To Header, or they have one and 
the mail it points to isn't in this folder etc etc 
(the old behaveour + ReplyToAuxId - threading by subject)

2. always force unprefixed messages to top level. This "fixes" the case of a 
newbie replying to a thread instead of making a new thread, but will "break" 
intentional changes in subject while the thread continues. 

I am not sure which is better.
