If you find thread movement commands convenient, by all means add
them.  We are not forced to choose between summary generation and
movement commands for handling of threads.

I have 7000 messages in the RMAIL file -- to reorder them would take a
long time.  And how would I restore the original order?

How about creating a virtual reordering without actually
moving the messages around in the buffer?
