If I'm understanding what you're saying then this isn't true.

TB! uses both the 'In-Reply-To' and 'References' headers for threading.
The 'In-Reply-To' header is used to assist with threading one message
directly with another in terms of one being a direct reply to another.
If the In-Reply-To header doesn't match, then the 'References' header is
used.

I have folders where the reply messages aren't with the originals and
the originals thread by themselves.

If there is no 'References' header, then threading by references would
be extremely fragile, in that as soon as you delete a message within the
thread, the thread falls apart. This was an issue with the very early
TB! versions and was fixed a long time ago by not only including the
'References' header, but also letting that header store up to, I think,
the messageid's for the last 6 messages in the thread.
