It can probably be done more simply - I'm just winging it here.
(Yes, I know procmail isn't available on a certain popular system. I don't
have much sympathy for the position that the IETF list should do substandard
things in order to support people who insist on using substandard tools.)
Proper chasing of Message-Id: and References: will even allow visualisation of
threading for off-list replies with changed Subject: lines, which is obviously
not anything the IETF mail server can help with.
