I think that development focus should be on displaying threads properly, not on "fixing" dates that the system can't possibly know are right or wrong.
There is already a "thread sort" mode within the archiving system. There is also a "date sort" mode. If we're going to have a given mode, it makes sense that we'd want to be able to display that mode "correctly".
My issue has more to do with doing that as a display-only matter as opposed to "correcting" the messages on input and before they are sent back out to the list recipients, as well as being recorded in the archives. Where we do the "correction" is as important as the correction itself.
