Some mail clients are especially stupid and break the In-Reply-To:
protocol one way or another.
indeed, i use Thunderbird and i am often torn between proper threading, and
"generous" threading, which brings back in all the replies from people whose
mailers fail to supply proper In-Reply-To or References headers
currently i'm using generous threading, which means
View > Sort by > Date | Ascending | Threaded
plus these custom "advanced" settings:
mail.strict_threading: false
mail.thread_without_re: true
there is detailed info here:
<https://wiki.mozilla.org/MailNews:Message_Threading>
the downside is the generous setting will thread together two messages that
happen to have the same subject (e.g. "test"); also, some people seem to
hand-type their subject lines and often make small mistakes, and these will
always be seen as separate threads
