/*
Shamelessly hacked from Aaron Boodman's Forward Thread script.

It works by searching the group for the thread's subject,
ordering by date descending.

#tt is assumed to contain the thread subject, and 
it uses the reply-to for the last message in the thread to get the group
(and ensure it's from a google group).

It probably should be changed to use the mailed-by header instead.
