Think symbolic links in unix filesystems. It's doable. About all
you'd need to do is track crossing symlinks in the namespace, and if
you've crossed it once, you don't cross again

and the first time someone replaces the subject line with their own
subject, all of the threading and reply information disappears. The
Subject Line is for Subjects. if you really need to encode this data,
create an X-foo line in the header to hold it, since that's what the
RFCs allow. And then, all you have to worry about are clients that
strip non-standard headers....
