The archives are sorted by subject line. Here's a quick example.
The
two links below go to two DIFFERENT threads on the same archive site.
The only reason they were listed as different threads is because
"SOLVED" was added to the subject line. These links only lead to a
test message, but there are many other instances that I have found on
the same archive site that do the same thing. (And the same is true
for the redhat archive site).

... 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.
