There exists a "hidden setting" in SeaMonkey (used by Dr.Chip and I, and
probably by some others) and Thunderbird, to thread the mail by subject,
but the default (and the standard) is to thread according to the
"References" heading, which groups emails according to what is being
replied to.
Best regards,

Everything you've learned in school as "obvious" becomes less and less
obvious as you begin to study the universe. For example, there are no
solids in the universe. There's not even a suggestion of a solid.
There are no absolute continuums. There are no surfaces. There are no
straight lines.
