And indeed it does. I've tested and reviewed and it looks and works
great.

I fully support this change. The new logic makes sense to me and is a
good compromise between usability and flexibility.

one would not expect to be excluding messages from threads that one
would otherwise be keeping. So I certainly have no problem not
excluding
