Okay, so the differences/improvements are those:

- Ignore Subjects completely
- Use the max(INTERNALDATE) from all messages in the thread as the
"thread date"
- Maybe add some mechanism to split/join threads by hand (tricky one)

It's exam time for me right now, but I might be able to try to make a
draft or something in a few weeks.

Comments, opinions or monetary support would be appreciated :).

Cheers,
