OK, we have "set sort=threads", as the above implies some threads
showing.

That just reduces threading, by disabling pseudo-threading.
Having $strict_threads and $sort_re unset should compensate for missing
threading headers, perhaps too much, if a subject recurs in later
threads.

What happens to the headers when you use & to join a tagged mail to a
thread? Presumably the thread display is now OK, and the change in the
headers will show whether it's In-Reply-To or a Reference that was
missing. (Whenever I've done that, mutt has added an In-Reply-To, IIRC.)
