[MlMt] possibly unpopular feature request

I'd like to make a somewhat tangential request here - I also *want* to 
use the Threading on MailMate, but, can't, due to the sheer volume, and 
indeed, how I prefer to sort messages, but part of what I do appreciate 
about Mail.app is that when you're not in thread mode, you can still 
visually see messages in the same thread in the message list pane.

This makes it really easy to spot if you want to command-click and 
select/delete them all, or just want to visually scan where the messages 
are in the context of the rest of the folder.

I'd really like some way to do this in MailMate.  When I select a 
message that is in a thread, that some sort of obvious visual clue is 
given to change the colour of other messages in the mailbox list for 
messages in that same thread.

Of course, this may already be possible and I just need to know the 
magic....
