Not really. Mutt's threading is implemented as a sorting mechanism rather than some other layer, and unfortunately mutt is coded in multiple places to honor only two sort functions. Daniel Eisenbud did the last major overhaul of mutt's threading code. Shortly after he finished it he proposed taking a further step of either separating threading out from sorting, or permitting more than two sort functions. I gather there wasn't very much interest from people with substantial use cases. I think perhaps the only vaguely common use case for having two sort keys in addition to threading involves scoring, and I'm not too sure that very many people actually use scoring. You might approximate this if you can find a way to mix (last-)date-received into score, but whether that's feasible depends on your mailboxes and your habits. -- -D.
