There is an unfinished Patchwork patch which allows you to click on a
mailto: link at the beginning of the Patchwork page and your mailer will
preserve threading (sort of, the reply will always be to the original
patch, and the list and the submitter will be in CC). Basically, the
mailto: link has In-Reply-To and Subject headers set to correct values.
It might be possible to extend this a bit and get all responders added
to CC.

That patch is unfinished, though, so if you know Python, Patchwork, and
the framework used by Patchwork you can probably beat it into a shape
that is useful for your purposes. If you're interested, I can dig it up.

Regards,
Carl-Daniel
