I have sort=threads.

Yes, it should, but the redundant references should be removed as well.

I would like to see three fixes:

1) message-id should not be repeated in the References line;

2) mutt should display the threads in the right order; and,

3) as a suggestion, mutt should indicate joined subthreads in a
clear way, for instance like in the index view below, where the "o"
represents replied messages.

    1 r   Apr 21 Vincent Lefevre (0.1K) Message A
    2 r   Apr 21 Vincent Lefevre (0.1K) ├─o>Reply 1 to Message A
    3 r   Apr 21 Vincent Lefevre (0.1K) └─o>Reply 2 to Message A
    4     Apr 21 Vincent Lefevre (0.2K)   └─>Reply to replies 1 and 2

Now it is difficult to see joined threads without looking in the
headers.
