Say I run vanilla sortm and I get the following:

   1  05/13 yost               subject1
   3  05/14 fred               Re: subject1
   2  05/14 sheila             subject2
   4  05/16 bruce              Re: subject1
   5  05/17 yost               Re: subject2

I want an option to sortm that will sort this way:

   1  05/13 yost               subject1
   3  05/14 fred               Re: subject1
   4  05/16 bruce              Re: subject1
   2  05/14 sheila             subject2
   5  05/17 yost               Re: subject2

Get it?  The primary messages are sorted by date, but all the Re:
messages are placed directly after the messages they reply to.
The placement of Re:'s should be based primarily on message-id's and
secondarily on date.

Has anyone done this?
