All the needed information seem to be already there. The question is whether to sort the messages in the order in which they were received[1], or sort them according to whatever random date the client MUAs attach to the message. On top of that is allowing for threading; currently the BTS completely ignores References: and In-Reply-To: because it's simpler to do so.
