I am unclear on what you are stating. Provide a snippet of an example
in index (formatted text is just fine).

$NUMFOLUP$ is based on *explicit* follow-ups. From the docs:
$NUMFOLUP$ Number of explicit follow-ups to the message.
------------------------^^^^^^^^
Subject-based detectection is *implied* threading.
There is no way (or very difficult) to get an accurate value based on
subject-based threading. To be accurate, it would require heuristics
that examine message bodies.
FOLREFS (not $FOLREFS$ -- no such variable) is also based on explicit
references and follow-ups.
