Latest kmail seems to be trying to be clever with displaying mails. Try this: View -> Message List -> Aggregation and set it to Current Activity, Threaded most of the broken threads will seem to be broken by Indi. Now change it to Standard Mailing List and threading mostly goes back to being normal. I don't think the broken threads are anyone's mailer, I think it's kmail doing Aggregation based on today/not today first.
