I suspect along the lines, someone's email client didn't properly
maintain the headers showing a message as a reply to another (the
"In-Reply-to" and "References" tags in a proper email header).  Maybe
check the headers of the lead message in the two forked threads for
clues to the offending email client?

No. This is my point. They are not three separate ***messages*** in one 
thread. They are three separate ***threads***, each with its own bunch 
of messages. Sorry, I thought I'd made that clear when I said "I 
currently have three different threads ..."
