Pardon me for jumping in here, but if mutt isn't smart enough to
automatically use In-Reply-To: and/or References: headers on replies? Or
likes to add extra Re: (IE: Re: Re: Re:) to the subject header line?
{All of which is news to me BTW...} Then I gotta ask, "why use it?"

If it's because it runs in the console, then my real question is have you
tried alpine? It certainly does use those thread friendly Message-ID: based
reply headers and seldom {if ever} adds any redundant "Re:" tags to the
"Subject:" header line. It's also highly configurable with a comprehensive built
in help system. It can use local Linux mail spool and/or remote IMAP folders
(or even pop inboxes). It can be configured to use local sendmail or remote
SMTP servers.  And it also does NNTP... 

It comes with it's own editor/composer but can easily be configured to use
your choice of alternate editors (I use vim with it)...

Just a thought...
