I know which messages I have read in each subject.

I did not think about the case where two messages have the same subject but
one is a reply to another.  Your tree handles that case?  That would be
nice.

In any case, sorting by thread is much better than sorting by date.

But, just sorting by subject, when a tree grows and comes to
have many branches, you may confuse which message is followed
up, or not?
