In fact, the whole concept of 'threads' is something I would like to keep outside of the base toolset. The reason being there is no single definition of what a 'thread' is, and even when you can come up with a definition, it's almost always context sensitive. I have never found an MUA that can come even close to expressing the sort of detail I want when dealing with threads.
exmh apparently has at least some thread support. However, I don't use it because it has completely horrendous perfornamce characteristics, since the folder I want to use it the most has thousands of messages and hundres more each day. As a result, it has to read all the messages of interest so it can find all the In-Reply-To and References: headers. You'd really want to have a cheap incremental method of adding incoming messages to a thread database, similar to how rcvstore currently updates the unseen sequence.
