+summary: 'Infer threads for clients that do not send them'
+...
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+Some clients have no UI for determining what <thread/> a message should have,
+but do support XEP-0461 replies. This module will infer the right thread from
+the parent if there is none but this is a reply.
+
+Compatibility
