Or you can just use a threading mailreader.  My (text-only)
mailreader, mutt, displays the following when I view this
thread in the index:

  * 1153 Jan 02 Thomas Leigh        ( 2.7K) Cushitic, South Semitic etc.
  * 1154 Jan 03 Gary Shannon        ( 0.5K) |->Ruminations on managing the volum

Note that, by replying to an unrelated message to start a
new thread, you have actually embedded two new threads
within an existing one.  This is because your References:
or In-Reply-To: headers will quote the Message-ID from
the Message-ID: header of the message you're replying to.
