Readers are not shielded from deleted or lost messages. Equivalent to setting "hide_missing" to "no" in mutt. * No grouping by subject. This makes things ideal for short messages such as chat and status updates. For email, this encourages the use of proper client which set In-Reply-To or References headers. Equivalent to setting "strict_threads" to "yes" in mutt. * No recursion; all algorithms are non-recursive to avoid SystemStackError exceptions in deep threads. Memory usage is bound by the number of lightweight containers needed to represent a thread. * Message format-agnostic, not limited to email or NNTP; but even appropriate for forums, blog comments, IM, etc. For mail and NNTP messages, that means you must extract the Message-ID and parse the References and In-Reply-To headers into an array yourself.
