That is good to know. I have never noticed it documented. Does it work
reliably?

Not necessarily mutt, but if it's a web browser, then find somebody else

It is a single thread of discussion until the discussion becomes complex
and has branches.

Actually, since mail servers are much much less resource-consuming that
web interfaces, it probably is.
