Thunderbird can be configured to also use the subject for threading:

This sounded promising. But, no matter how I set the threading options I
still have multiple threads with the same subject. :-(
I think mail.strict_threading=false is the most important option.
mail.thread_without_re=true is potentially useful, but has the likely
side effect of adding new messages to ancient threads of the same name
(if you don't clean out old messages).
I get the impression that once Thunderbird has the messages in its local
database, it is difficult or impossible to change the way they are
threaded. I think (based on my experiences) that these options apply
only to new messages.
I much preferred Thunderbirds threading behaviour prior to version 3.
Threading based on subject is a much more intuitive system - even with
its occasional failings.
