... but the official archives sorts this thread correctly.  Isn't the
issue really that the marc archive has broken threading?

For example, see 

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2005-February/thread.html

The "Test, please ignore" messages are sorted this way:

# Test, Please ignore., Gustavo Seabra
    * Re: Test, Please ignore. [Solved], Gustavo Seabra
          o Re: Test, Please ignore. [Solved], jim lawrence

(in other words, adding "solved" does NOT break the thread.
