Thanks David for the script and the instruction. I am still not sure where 
notmuch is getting the association between my 5 messages in the thread.

The attached pdf is the output of the script. As you can see the draft 
"[email protected]" which contains the header

is completely unconnected the other 4 messages in the thread. Note that if I 
change the "In-Reply-To" field in this message to anything else, notmuch no 
longer groups these 5 messages into a single thread.

I tried searching for "[email protected]" using 
`xapian-delve` but got

,----
| term '[email protected]' not in database
`----

Finally, I tried grepping for the same ID in my notmuch folder (with all mails 
and database) and got two hits (actually three including this message which I 
am currently writing):

,----
| ./Drafts/cur/1682165661.M337064P23717.m2air.local,U=151:2,DS:In-Reply-To: 
<[email protected]>
| Binary file ./.notmuch/xapian/postlist.glass matches
`----

The first one is the draft. The second hit is the reason I thought the only 
place left for notmuch to associate these messages is in the xapian database. 
Note that if I delete the draft and reindex, only the postlist.glass hit 
stubbornly remains and there seems to be no way to make notmuch forget about 
this ID. 

I am running notmuch 0.37 and xapian 1.4.21 if that's relevant.
