  • How to have Mutt thread together messages with the same subject, even without Re:

    Mutt settings are mostly inscrutable to me, so I’ll just dump the ones I found (through trial and error) that do what I want below. Besides having these:

    set sort=threads
    set sort_browser=reverse-date
    set sort_aux=reverse-last-date-received

    I needed to add these:

    set sort_re=no
    unset strict_threads

    For convenience, I also added these:

    # Collapse threads at startup
    exec collapse-all
    
    # Set the keys for un-/collapsing all threads/one thread
    bind index _ collapse-all
    bind index - collapse-thread

    (I’m using Mutt version 2.2.12 in Ubuntu 24.04.)
