Needing to sort by thread normally says to me that an email client is being
used where a newsreader would be better ;-) That said, I don't know if
SirMail has intentions to add newsgroup support, in which case it will need
threads.

The headers you need to construct the tree are References (best),
In-Reply-To (OK) and Subject/Date (worst case).  There is an RFC summarising
common email headers.  Find it on IETF.org or your favourite mirror.
