[MlMt] counting number of threads

[Zvi Biener]

Thanks, Henry.

FFIW, here is a kludge. I’m not sure how accurate it is under all 
conditions, but it seems OK for my simple inbox..

Basically, the filter tries to find the ‘head’ message of every 
thread by eliminating any message that is a reply to another message in 
the inbox, or every message that does not have a in-reply-to field. 
Counting the remaining messages should be the number of threads. YMMV.

Here is my countMenu.plist

```
{
	counts = (
		{ key = "threadcount"; title = "Thread Count"; filter = "(in-reply-to 
!=[c] $INBOX.message-id or in-reply-to !exists)"; /*defaultColor = ;*/ 
},
	);
}
```
