As I understand the first it's for ORDEREDSUBJECT and the letter for 
REFERENCES. If we need both we just should add an (working) option to 
change this behaviour. I think we don't need this (at least now) and we 
should just use default THREAD command sorting. Also probably not every 
server supports both.

THREAD command returns messages (threads) sorted by date, it's not 
possible to speed this up. Index_sort option will not help and we have 
two possibilities:
- re-sort by root message index if index_sort=true,
- forget about index_sort option when using threads
