How would that work though?  Threading requires a Message-Id on at least
the first message, so to avoid Message-IDs by default would require
turning off threading by default; I can do that if you like, but you
suggested that you didn't mind having threading as the default.  I
could, however, avoid generating Message-Id on the subsequent messages,
and avoid generating that Message-Id if you give --no-thread.  Would
that work?
