mutt alone cannot deal with this, afaik. Mairix can help out here. It supports a search modus for e.g. the message-id of a mail. This normally returns a single mail, but adding the --threads switch also returns all mails of the thread this mail is related to. I am using Maildir (no imap, mbox, etc) In this case mairix works pretty efficient, as the search result is presented in a temporary % Maildir containing links to the real Mailfiles. The creation of this folder can be initiated from within mutt (with a look&feel like it is a mutt command). If interested in mairix and its integration into mutt, I could provide my config, which I copied from the net somewhere.
