rmail-summary-by-topic

[Alex Schroeder <alex@gnu.org>]

I think rmail-summary-by-topic should use the current subject as a
default -- this would quickly provide the kind of "conversation view"
that Gmail offers, without the need to do threading.

I therefore suggest the following patch.  If nobody objects, I can
apply it, too.
