Often when browsing the archives of a list one might be interested in a certain topic, but not necessarily want to get on the whole list. It'd be very cool to just subscribe to a thread, only getting emails that reply to that.
If one starts thinking about the further implications of this it starts to make one's brain hurt of the possibilities of sub-lists and super-lists and what is a mailing list, anyways? But this is hopefully low hanging fruit that can accomplish a lot. Ideally one could also set a default notification mechanism in their profile, to get notifications by email or by rss or nntp.

Hm, this is a very interesting idea. We could have subscriptions associated with a particular thread (say keyed on the message_id of the initial message), and fire thread specific events on the reciept of a message that look up those subscriptions. Not a high priority I think, but quite interesting.

The flip side of this is 'unsubscribe to a thread', which is actually an equally nice feature. You're on a big list and there's some holy war that you just don't care at all about, it'd be nice if you could just say 'don't deliver any more emails on this thread to me'. This was suggested by Dave Rankin.
