Ah, so it's not *quite* as broken as that, because it does only mangle
a user's *own* messages back to them; not all messages to them.

So threading works a bit.... except for threads you *participate* in.
Yay!

But at least opting out can mostly isolate an individual from the
adverse effects of this strangeness, and it isn't inflicted upon us
(much) by others who haven't opted out.
