Don't you just *hate* that? Urgh!
I had long ago requested "prune" and "graft" functions to pull a
subthread out of a thread, or to put a thread into another thread
somewhere, but never got anything like it. With the 'e'dit-message
function, it's easy enough to pull the top message in the new thread out
by deleting the references, but putting one back in has always been
challenging; IIRC, I was unable to craft a good References: line while
editing within mutt, but instead had to save the message to a temp file,
whip up the line, and then dump it back onto the folder in order for mutt
to not ignore my changes. I'd love to know more about that, or have a
prune/graft patch pointer :-)

You could do something exactly like it and just s'o'rt by 's'ubject.
Why care about threads if they don't, especially since I know you're
filtering these emails into their own folder(s) and it's easy to whip
up a folder-hook to change the sort order for that case...
