search: use raw headers without MIME decoding
This should be less error-prone in case somebody tries to screw with
us and our thread_id mechanism or somehow waste our resources.
Unfortunately Mail::Thread isn't smart enough for this, yet, so we
may need to downgrade to Email::Simple objects as a workaround.
Or simply not worry about the display so much if somebody is
intentionally trying to make it thread badly/incorrectly.

favor /t/ to /s/, since subjects may change mid-thread
/t/ always falls back to subject path searching anyways,
so there's little lost besides perhaps more readable URLs.
Unfortunately people still use non-compliant mail clients which fail
to set In-Reply-To or References headers :<

view: reply threading adjustment
Give changes in subject their own line to reduce line wrapping,
but avoid showing any redundant subjects by maintaining a hash
of subjects already displayed.

reject HTML loudly and automatically
This should hopefully reduce the delay between when a user fails
to send plain-text to when an admin such as myself notices the
HTML mail in a sea of spam.
Unfortunately, this can lead to backscatter, so avoid doing it
until its passed through spamc, at least.

import_slrnspool: fork a process for each message
This prevents process growth when importing large messages.
Memory growth could be due to the sliding sbrk window in glibc malloc
or a circular reference in the Email::* Perl code somewhere.

import_slrnspool: use ssoma-mda instead
Some mailing lists (e.g. git@vger.kernel.org) accept messages
via Bcc: and possibly other things which get rejected by
the strict PublicInbox::Filter rules. So rely on ssoma-mda
instead.
This prefers a recent revision of ssoma-mda (commit 7fce38e9
onwards) to display subject/author/date information in the
commit message.

Ugh, apparently there's a (yet-to-be-fixed) bug in the Filter

Better threading support can be done for message views, so

public-inbox-init: fix multi-address setup
We must support multi-address mailing lists, so we do not
clobber existing addresses. However, we need to ensure
idempotency and ensure existing addresses are not reset.
Furthermore, we were not parsing the existing config correctly
due to a leaking $/.

line-wrap generated HTML source around attrs for readability
It's important to keep HTML source readable to folks who prefer
to read raw HTML. This should improve readability of the HTML
source by keeping line length in check without wasting bytes.
Only root messages should be sorted in reverse chronological order,
child messages should be chronological. This gives precedence to
_topics_, but also for initial replies.
This improves readability when several messages appear at the same
nesting level, and helps git patch series' appear correctly as:

12 lines is half an 80x24 terminal, so it is probably a reasonable

redo main HTML index to show nested messages
This reduces the need for page reloads in common cases and should

The downside of this are increased server processing overhead and
easier address scraping by spam bots.
