Mutt in general is a good email program, but even Mutt did break the
thread. Funnily only at those mails by "Mr. Freeze". ;)

Some random hints: 
* Only prepend "Re: " in front of the subject. 
* Don't change the subject in any other way (except the occasional "Was: ")
* Try an email agent, that uses and evaluates the "In-Reply-To"-header. 
  Mutt does so.
* Remember: "All mail clients suck.  This one just sucks less." (Mutt
  manual)

ciao
