It works, more or less, like Bill described. But looking at the code, it 
appears I'm not checking if the subject of the message changed. This 
means that if a new thread is created by replying to an existing thread 
(a bad habit which MailMate warns about if done using MailMate) then it 
doesn't break the muting. I'll look into changing this since it's likely 
to be a general problem.

With respect to the `message:` links discussed in another thread, I have 
a text file in which I'll now add this:

~~~
1.12.5: Break muting if the subject header has changed ****
	message://%3c2C443DEB-15C2-4844-A2B1-B33A27A7DBA3@coopercontent.com%3e
	When determining if a message should be muted then also check that the 
subject body (`subject.body`) is exactly the same as the subject body of 
the parent message.
~~~

I can follow the link if I need more context. The prefixed version 
number is for which version I plan to include this fix. The use of `*` 
is my ad-hoc priority system which is used for sorting. I have a script 
which can grep and sort based on version number and priority. It's 
primitive, but I like plain text because it makes it easy for me to move 
things around and search for similar notes (I have a pretty bad memory 
and rely on being able to find every thought I've had in the past).
