I'm not aware of a IEEE standard's RFC that covers the threading of email. I'm sure there is one, but the major makers of email clients seem to be ignoring it.
RFC 2822 "Internet Message Format" (2001) defines the current behaviour of the "In-Reply-To:" and "References:" fields. See <http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html>. IIRC, these fields were initially defined in RFC 822 "Standard for the Format of ARPA Internet Text Messages" (1982), see <http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc822.html>, although they might have been defined even earlier.
