Several years ago I wrote a patch for allowing sorting mails that reply to several messages. It is attached as an mq patch, see README.DAG for details. The mails can be sorted using directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), which can be seen as an extension of the tree structure.
Here is an example from this list, where 10873 replies to both 10871 and 10872. 10871 L 2009-07-10 b a 2.1K fixing mutt 10872 L 2009-07-10 b a 0.2K │┌forgot to mention 10873 sL 2009-07-09 Kyle Wheeler 4.2K └┴─>Re: fixing mutt 10874 L 2009-07-10 b a 1.8K ├─> 10875 sL 2009-07-10 Kyle Wheeler 3.0K │ └─> 10876 sL 2009-07-10 Rocco Rutte 1.1K └─> The patch should only be considered as a demonstration or experiment and there is still a lot of work needed to implement functions as collapsing and deleting threads, etc. Note that these functions may become ambiguous in this context. Since multi-reply messages occur very seldom (once a year on mutt-dev) I don't find it worth implementing, but it could be of interest to someone on this list.
