Are you using mutt as your mua?  I do, and j davis doesn't break threads
for me.  It may because I have strict threading turned off -- mutt will
thread on the subject as well.  Have you given that a try, if you are
using mutt?  Usually seems to work.  Once in a while it may goof up, but
not very often.

unset strict_threads    # thread only by In-Reply-To/References or by Subject 

Just a thought ...
