DIR needs this as well.
While we're on the subject of subject-following, it seems strange that
read/parent attempts to follow the thread by identifier (which is difficult
for items, like this one, which originated on certain mailing lists,
since the followups from the list won't reference the parent identifier in
the references: header), while read/followup goes by subject line.
More subject-following: Not only Re: but also Re^2: and RE: should be
ignored. And I wish there was a good way to ignore constructs like
"Part 1 of 3".
