Description

[David :Bienvenu]

As written in 77965:

I've always been under the impression that threads are supposed to be grouped in
a hierarchy such that replies to a certain message (which may or may not be a
reply to another message) appear directly under it, no matter when it was
received.  Something like this:

Root Message
- Reply 1
- - Reply 1 to Reply 1
- - Reply 2 to Reply 1
- - - Reply 1 to Reply 2 to Reply 1
- - Reply 3 to Reply 1
- Reply 2
- - Reply 1 to Reply 2
- - - Reply 1 to Reply 1 to Reply 2
- - - - Reply 1 to Reply 1 to Reply 1 to Reply 2
- Reply 3


This broke during the performance branch work, when we stopped using the thread
enumerators. I have a fix, which I'll attach shortly.

look, screenshots are useless.  You need to look at the reference message ids
and show that there's a message being shown as a reply to a message it's not a
reply to. If you can do that, you can re-open the bug. do you know how to do
that? Look at the message-id's and reference headers of the messages in question.

I'm no longer seeing this problem on Mac build 2001050708.  (I was the one who
posted the suggestion in bug 77965.)
