[Robert Brenstein]

I use the “search for related messages” function to get alternative 
aggregation (double-click or shift-double-click, depending on your

choosing an appropriate mailbox.

There are unfortunately too many inconsistencies and varied preferences 
in the mailing systems and list setups to have nice working automatic 
aggregations.
