Thanks, Dominik, but this add-on doesn't seem to work under OS X.

Worth adding that mutt appears to be able to do this (move defective message — actually, any message — into the thread specified by the user).
As I understand it, the problem is that people seem to be able to tolerate split threads, and most users don't even understand what a thread is (they think it's a Subject line).

Supposedly https://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/E-mail/E-mail-Clients/Virtual-Access.shtml can do this

I can confirm that mutt can indeed do this, both to push a message INTO an existing thread AND to move a message OUT OF a thread to stand on its own. As the code for mutt is publicly available, adding this facility to Tbird (or any other MUA) would be possible.

Hi.
After 25 years.....
It's possible to fix this problem?
Even if it is only within the local Thunderbird account on the PC that is installed.
Combine related threads into one, separate threads that were hijacked by other conversations.
It should not be modified in the email server (GMail, Outlook, etc.), but it should be modified in the email client's dashboard. Just as there is a "tag" or a "star", being able to mark or unmark them in a conversation.
Greetings.

This came up on n.p.m.mailnews:
From: "David A. Cobb" <superbiskit@home.com>
Newsgroups: netscape.public.mozilla.mail-news
Subject: [Wishlist] Threading issues
Date: Sun, 16 Apr 2000 20:20:05 -0400I subscribe to many discussion lists and the ability of the mail
client to thread the incoming mail is vital.It would be very helpful if I could edit thread associations [...]
Basically this would mean being able to drag an message over another in the
thread view, and have it "connect" to the latter as if it were a reply, [...]
More importantly — in email — it usually is a reply and needs to be put were it belongs.
Contrary to Javier's view. such changes must be modified in the mail server because they are permanent changes to the state of the world. Mutt can already do this (has been able to for a long time: tag a message with t and then move to the correct parent and press &. When you quit, it writes the corrected message back to the server, so when it' opened in (eg) Tbird, you can see the message linked correctly.
If mutt can do it, so can anyone else. Obviously this only applies to your personal mail, not to newsgroups or shared mailboxes, where other people might have different views.

The user should be in control, always.
If I want to merge two things I should be able to merge two things.
Or unmerge.
It's been 84 years. Almost literally.
