As I understand it:
If the $strict_threads variable is set, threading will only be
done according to the "In-Reply-To:" and "References:" headers.
When $strict_threads is unset, (which it is by default,)
threading will also be done according to the "Subject:" header.
The "*>" type of thread tree indicators are to indicate that
the message is a "pseudo thread" due to its subject, rather
than an element of a strict thread due to the other headers.
A message sorted into a thread that contains a "In-Reply-To:"
and/or a "References:" header for the thread will have a "->"
type of thread tree indicator.
