There's no threading there. That's just sorting by subject with some bogus
scaffolding on the left-hand-side. Note that you don't have more than one
level of nesting, as (for example) the pipermail archive does.
See how Pine shows it, with nesting:

In particular see how the "ACL to reject spam" and MailScanner threads
have a structure that your screenshot doesn't show, and how the structure
of various threads has been flattened by your replies.
