I'm reasonably confident (though I can't be sure about gmail, but I see
the same thing in mutt) the issue here is that there's no References or
In-Reply-To headers in the emails. There's some 'Thread-Subject' and
'Thread-Index' headers but it seems that gmail and mutt can't sort out
what those are or how to use them to do proper threading (if it's even
possible with those headers.. I'm not really sure how you'd use the
'Thread-Index' value since it seems to just be a hex code..).

Yeah, agree with this too, though that bothers me somewhat less than the
threading issue.

Thanks,

Stephen
