I should assume from the question that the thread number will show in the interface somehow?
Yeah, a message shows up in IM as something like:
#4Mark Waks responded: Thursday sounds reasonably good for dinner, at least IMO. ? for help
The thread number is there at the front, and used in places where you need to be able to refer to a specific thread. (For instance, "i 4" means "ignore thread 4" -- that is, I don't want to hear from this thread any more.)
