Add headers to improve threading when notifications are sent by an email method

Issue Summary

This patch adds RFC-compliant Message-ID, References and In-Reply-To headers to email sent for node and comment notifications. These are the headers necessary to get good threading in an email client.

I have tested with the Simple Mail and Messaging MIME Mail gateways, and I expect that the new headers will be ignored by the Messaging PHPMailer gateway until it too is patched.

This looks interesting. We wouldn't like to grow the Notifications module though and this can really be implemented as a plug-in.

Btw, there's hook_notifications_message_alter() on the 4.x branch.

Thanks, I'll look at building it as a plug-in then. These are basic email standards which ought to be used followed by any email-generating software.
