I've never been happy with notmuch's threading, always seem to get too many threads, so I tend to do notmuch show --format=mbox \ $(notmuch search --output=threads -- whatever) | mhonarc -tlevels 15 - to work out which threads I want (I am not an emacs user!). mhonarc, as far as I know, uses something like the jwz algorithm ( http://http://www.jwz.org/doc/threading.html), the use of which would solve my problem but possibly not Gregor's. If that is indeed caused by the header referred to above and there is some email client which does that, it would need special handling in jwz and probably in any algorithm, but the maintainers of the mail client should also be told to fix it! (RFC2822) Digression I know, but I just wanted to flag the need for more work in general on threading in notmuch.
