collect references and in-reply-to headers of messages

[sbenthall]

I am interested in using this package to download mailing list archives. But I need to collect the In-Reply-To and References headers of emails in order to then do threading on the messages.

Would you be open to a patch that does this?

Yes, I'd be very open to a patch that did this. I used to do something like this myself, but then the library had to switch to parsing the HTML rather than the TXT archive (which didn't support unicode) and that made the information much harder to extract.

If you write the code to get the in-reply-to information, that will be awesome.
