Dumping the original bug report to the list has had the desired effect: a discussion of the problem and a 
temporary workaround. Because the discussion unintentionally continued by private email (I'm not used to the 
web mailer I was posting with, sorry!), here's a summary:

* It is caused by not having the gconf key /apps/evolution/mail/display/thread_expand set to true. Setting 
that value fixed the problem for me. Using filters or remote vs. local folders is most likely irrelevant.
* The problem still exists even in the latest stable Evolution release and trunk (not checked).
* IMHO it affects all users updating to an affected version unless they create an Evolution configuration 
from scratch.

To see whether you are affected, use "gconftool-2 --get /apps/evolution/mail/display/thread_latest". It 
should report "true". To fix the problem, use "gconftool-2 --type bool --set 
/apps/evolution/mail/display/thread_expand true"

I'll reopen #519292 because that's where the problem was discussed and close the older #484987.

Bye, Patrick
