Same issue here, I don't know if it's because the posters are using Thunderbird 3 or because it's not laying out threads properly, or even if the server's at fault and Thunderbird 2 relied on buggy behaviour... I guess we'll see if this post becomes top level (Posted using TB3).

Probably the previous versions of Thunderbird somehow inferred the correct thread even when the post was sent with a broken client. Some posts seem to erroneously become top level no matter what client I use. This whole mess started when the web interface was introduced.

I just had a quick look at the headers of the broken messages and they were indeed all send with the webnews client. It seems like the webnews client doesn't set the 'References' header for those messages. Strangely most messages posted with webnews have the references header set though, I don't know why it sometimes doesn't work.
