It is possible... there's code in Connector that fakes up In-Reply-To
headers based on the Thread-Indexes. (camel-exchange-folder.c, notably
find_parent(), and soon to be better documented)

I don't know if it would really be worthwhile/easy to change the generic
threading algorithm to take it into account as well.

You can also do

        gconftool-2 -s /apps/evolution/mail/display/thread_subject -t bool true

to turn on threading-by-subject in addition to threading-by-references.
