Another use for this that I could think is a way to summarize digests.
Currently, if you choose a digest subscription, you will receive a single
email with message subjects and all the new messages as individual
attachments. It would be interesting to see if we can send out a "here's
what's new" summary with links to threads instead.

The challenge would be to do it in a way that doesn't bankrupt LFIT in the
process. :)
