That's certainly what we do in MH-E.
We have talked about threading on this forum in the past so I hope it's
somewhere on The List. I don't think it's reasonable to expect users to
have to write such scripts themselves to have threading.
Actually, now that I think of it, since threading is usually a toggle,
we can use ~ and ^ whether threading is enabled or not. If it's enabled,
these characters operate upon the thread; if not, they operate on
previous messages.
I agree with you; I definitely prefer these over the underscore which
seems more like a word separator than an operator.
