Maybe you have strict_threads set in your .muttrc? If strict_threads
is unset (which is the default, see below) mutt will try to add
messages to threads if they share a common subject line.
------------------------------ snip --------------------------------
6.3.154. strict_threads
Type: boolean
Default: unset
If set, threading will only make use of the ``In-Reply-To'' and
``References'' fields when ``sorting'' by message threads. By
default, messages with the same subject are grouped together in
``pseudo threads.'' This may not always be desirable, such as in a
personal mailbox where you might have several unrelated messages with
the subject ``hi'' which will get grouped together.
