234009 - Thread not detected when original message enters folder after the reply

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 181446

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Andreas Krüger]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040122 Debian/1.6-1

Whether or not a reply B to a message A is detected as being in one thread with A
depends on which message appeared in the particular mail folder first.

If A was there first, fine.  If B, the two messages are displayed in isolation.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. I have a mail message A and an reply message B to A.
2. The two are displayed as two messages in one thread.
3. I move message B to a different folder.
4. I move message A to the same folder.

Actual Results:  
In the folder that now hosts the two messages, they are no longer
displayed as belonging to one thread.

Shutting down Thunderbird and restarting it does not help.

Now move them to still another (or the original) folder.
But this time move A first, than B.

Now they are again displayed as one thread.

Expected Results:  
Whether messages in a folder are displayed as a thread
should not depend on the relative sequence how the messages
got into the folder.

This is Mozilla Thunderbird 0.5 (20040209),
Debian package mozilla-thunderbird version 0.5-1.
