There are two mechanisms for splitting a pile of messages into threads.  Some 
mail readers sort by the Subject field.  Some use the In-Reply-To headers.

Sorting by Subject is generally good enough.  Using the In-Reply-To headers 
gets much better results when various branches of the thread overlap in time. 
 It also does the right thing if messages arrive out of order.  That is 
common if some replies go direct to people in addition to the list.
