Threading in Mail depends on most people posting on a mailing list
having a Mail client that takes as much care as a newsreader does with
the Message-ID string. Otherwise you can do on your end is Subject-Date
order or some other pseudo-threading. You tend to get errors in displaying
a thread tree for the using if all that's available is In-Reply-To with
just the precursor Message-ID and no string of precursor Message-IDs (or at
least a partial string that preserves the Message-ID of the root message).

I agree with you. I don't use threading while I'm reading messages from
a mailing list because too much data is missing and it doesn't work like
display of a thread tree in Usenet.
