Fair enough.
“Organize by Thread” does not group all four messages together in
the same way that clicking the “Thread” toolbar button does.
So please allow me to restate the question: Is it “correct” (i.e.,
would you expect or does MailMate’s observed behavior correspond to
specifications) that **View > Organize by Thread** does not produce
the same result that clicking the **Thread** (a.k.a. the “Find and
display messages from the same conversation”) toolbar button does?
Well, “Organize by Thread” only works on the messages in the current
mailbox. If there are “missing links”, like sent messages, then it
won't show the same thing as the “Thread” button does (which
switches to the “All Messages” mailbox). It'll show multiple threads
depending on the number of broken links.
Maybe that explains it?
If yes, why would users expect different behavior from these two, very
similar-sounding actions?
They are, at least, based on the same thing (`Message-ID`/`In-Reply-To`
relationships).
