Bug mails should be threadable

[Thom May]

We had originally decided to store the message id of the initial notification email, but I think your idea of generating the message id based on the message id is better.

We will support full threading once we have the email interface implemented, but the method you scetch out seems a good solution until then.

I just implemented this in Ubuntu bugzilla, if you want to look at the bug mail it sends.

Two notes:
* this is critical for high-volume bug handlers, to be able to select a 'thread' (aka all comments in a bug which you've later read on the web, or otherwise decided you don't care about) and then delete/mark read.

* There is extensive discussion on the 'ideal' threading algorithm (given bug ids and comment ids) here:

threading correctly for replies to comments would be great in the long run, but threading is absolutely critical to the usefulness of emails a BTS sends out, as Luis correctly states.
Will this be in 1.0?

Yes, emails that get sent out will be threadable in 1.0
