Because MailMate only shows parent-child relationships. It might know 
that 2 messages belong to the same thread, but if there are any missing 
links between them in the current mailbox then they are not shown 
together. This is a side effect of the hierarchical strict threading 
used by MailMate. This is also the main reason that “group 
threading” has been on my todo forever. Some day...
