It's not that easy if you want a clean solution. Many mail clients break 
the threading by mangling subject lines, shortening subject lines, 
inserting quoted-printable encoding, or using custom "Re:"-prefixes (in 
Swedish it's "Sv:" in Microsoft's broken clients, for example). The 
cleanest would be to do three passes of the complete headers:
1) look for "in-reply-to"
2) look for "references"
3) sort by subject.

It can get ugly... :-)
