Threaded view messed up

Post by slickrcbd »

For the last couple updates, I've noticed that the threaded view in Thunderbird is messed up for messages from Groups.io.
It will break up message threads, and often show replies in a thread before the OP.

Notice the thread about David Eddings? This one is rather nice in that you can clearly see the thread split, but most of the time the parts of a thread are off the screen and I'd have to scroll to see it.

Any idea what's going on or what settings to tweak to fix it? CaerAzkaban is by far the biggest offender simply because of the volume of e-mails from that mailing list, but it happens from other groups as well.
I know that it has happened with the support group for Fanficfare, but I don't really lurk on that one much unless I'm having an issue with the plugin for Calibre. I mostly disable my subscription otherwise.

Is both mail.strict_threading and mail.correct_threading set true in the config editor? I'm wondering if Thunderbird has been checking the wrong headers but up till now you have been lucky.

Yes, they are both true.
