The most likely addition is what I refer to as group threading, i.e., a 
single level threading for which it makes sense to revert sorting (which 
does not make much sense when doing “real” threading). This is, by 
the way, not limited to grouping by thread (message-id). Emails could 
easily be grouped by any header (and I probably cannot resist such a 
generalization when I get to work on this feature).

It is more complicated to add what I refer to as a conversation view, 
that is, all emails of a thread shown in the message view, but it's not 
something I reject.

Workarounds for now have been described in this thread. (In particular, 
note “Message ▸ Next Unread” when searching for an unread email in 
a very long thread.)
