there are already one or two tools that do this... they were used more back in 
the day when subject sorting was a thing... they were used to sort the messages 
in pkts into one pkt in the date order of the message then better message 
linking came about...

i used to use a similar tool here for other reasons but quickly 
dropped/disabled the sorting and pkt combining functions...
