IIRC the guy who broke the threading sent the mails via a news-gateway,  
that could account for both methods failing.

I'm not really into the intrinsics of programming, nor the code of  
either balsa or mutt; so I beg to pardon my heretic assumptions. :-)  
But as it seems that mutt somehow is not as easily fooled as balsa,  
wouldn't it be possible to adapt that algorithm?
