38 You might be interested in checking out sylpheed-claws instead of
39 thunderbird for your GUI mail client. I'm probably going to switch over
40 to it myself sooner or later - sooner if I can figure out a way to
41 migrate mailboxes from thunderbird. But anyway, I checked just now, and
42 sylpheed-claws does have an Ignore Thread / Unignore Thread option.
43 Unfortunately at first glance its threading seems to be not quite as
44 robust as thunderbird's, but that may be due to sylpheed-claws not
45 having all the previous messages in the thread.
