           Summary: Wrong threading when parent absent
           Product: kmail

          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: to.roma.from.kdebug at qwertty.com

I have sent a message to two people. It got stored in my Sent folder. Then one
of them replied, and we had a small conversation. My replies to his replies
were stored in Inbox. That was all as expected, and the conversation was
threaded properly.

Then the other one replied, and his message was threaded as though it were a
reply to the other person’s reply to me, while I expected it to be on the
folder’s top level.

Alpine shows the messages this way:

+ A 645  9:33  Person 1       (2K) . Re: Subject
    646  9:43  To: Person 1   (5K) . \-Re: Subject
+ A 647 10:01  Person 1       (3K) .   \-Re[2]: Subject
    648 10:39  To: Person 1   (7K) .     \-Re: Subject
+   649 15:17  Person 1       (6K)         \-Subject
+   650 17:22  Person 2      (74K)   Re: Subject

Mutt:

 645 r + Aug 29 Person 1        (2.0K) ┬─>Re: Subject
 646  sF Aug 29 To Person 1     (4.2K) │ └─>
 647 r + Aug 29 Person 1        (3.0K) │   └─>
 648  sF Aug 29 To Person 1     (6.3K) │     └─>
 649   + Aug 29 Person 1        (5.4K) │       └─>
 650   + Aug 29 Person 2        ( 72K) └─>Re: Subject

But KMail thought message 650 was a reply to 645, while both are replies to a
message that is not present in my Inbox.

Turning “Thread also by subject” off helps.

Unlike #81581, all messages have proper In-Reply-To headers and thus threading
by subject should not be active.
