As far as I can tell, threading is working as designed and T-Bird is
following the RFC. Since I'm replying to the initial message
the headers being used by T-Bird are the In-Reply-To: and
References:. So this reply won't be sorted with the messages that
were also replies to the initial post since my reply will lack

It will probably appear at the end of the thread based on the
time/date this is sent.
If you want to view the thread in chronological order without regard
to this "sub" sorting
then you probably want to use the gmail web interface.
Frankly, one feature I would like to see implemented in T-Bird is a
way to ignore and not show some
of these "sub" sorted items within a thread that veer off on
meaningless (at least to me) tangents.
I prefer Evolution to TBird. It lets you fall back to threading by
Subject if the headers aren't present. I do that and don't see any
threading issues.
You can also ignore a thread or subthread.
