The gnus news/mail reader does fuzzy threading, I assume 
this is similar to what you are talking about. Some points:

1) The threading code is rewritten in KMail 1.2.2 so please 
be aware of that.

2) Efficiency is very important, any significant slow down 
or extra memory usage is not cool.

3) A problem with threading by subject is that messages 
that don't belong in the same thread are sometimes lumped 
together. I actually find this more annoying than having 
messages that belong in the same thread being shown 
separately.

4) When a lazy person replies to a message instead of creating 
a new message the message they send will be incorrectly 
threaded. I believe fixing this problem is of higher 
priority than fuzzy threading.

Don.
