Well, if you include hotmail (which doesn't do threading of any kind)
you might be getting close.

On the other hand, if you surveyed the people who actually read this
list, my guess is that the majority are using software that pays
attention to the references header.  I typically use thunderbird, and it
does, and as a result this thread appeared hijacked.

I wish I could keep it from merging identical subjects into the same
thread.  On rare occasion I get emails with no subject from family and
they end up buried in my inbox under another email with a similarly
useless subject line...
