This is correct as far as I know.

thread_id is also the number of the original message in the thread.  (The
original message may or may not still exist.)  If the message predates the
addition of this property, then the value will be 0.

 Ni> what version of Synchronet was thread_id introduced?  I don't see it on

It was introduced after 3.15b, in March 2012 according to the commit log.  So
if you want your code to run on pre-3.16 systems, check that (typeof
header.thread_id == "number") before attempting to make use of that value.
