-## Containers. A Container is a recursive structure that holds the
-## tree structure as determined by the references: and in-reply-to:
-## headers. A Thread with multiple Containers occurs if they have the
-## same subject, but (most likely due to someone using a primitive
-## MUA) we don't have evidence from in-reply-to: or references:
-## headers, only subject: (and thus our tree is probably broken). A
-## Container holds zero or one message. In the case of no message, it
-## means we've seen a reference to the message but haven't seen the
-## message itself (yet).
