Summary: Replied message to a decendant message should be the immediate
descendant of the decendant message, not the top level parent message
Steps:
1. Launch Messenger using the -mail option
2. Select a decendant (msg 2) of a message (msg 1) , reply to msg 2..
3. View the replied message (msg 3) that is sorted by thread

Actual result: the replied message (msg 3) is displayed in the thread view as a
child of the first level parent (msg 1).
> msg 1
 > msg 2
 > msg 3

Expected result: the replied message should be displayed in the thread view as a
child of the second level parent:
> msg 1
 > msg 2
  > msg 3

This problem occurs in all 3 platforms.

Reassign to bienvenu, cc putterman. Seems like a beta stopper, so marking M14.

this is not a threading bug. The message composition/sending code is not putting
the references header in, so I can't thread by references very well. If you send
these messages with 4.x, 5.0 will thread them just fine. I'll try to figure out
why this is broken, but I don't know anything about the message compose code.
