Well, in a big thread older than 3 days, newer posts will not have the 
parent, and the thread  breaks in several orphaned threads.

Also, if you click on an old post, thunderbird will pop a message saying 
that some index is missing or something, and on clicking on it, it will 
offer to cleanup stale messages. You will hit into this nuisance too 
often to be a bother.

Maybe keeping headers would avoid this.

Then of course in a long thread people will refer to what somebody said 
a week ago. Or a year ago.
