There's the more general kdepim-users. Let's move this thread there, 
i.e. please send replies only to kdepim-users.

No, unfortunately that's currently not possible. KMail always sorts by 
the head of the thread.

Usually it should not be necessary to change the encoding because KMail 
will automatically choose the correct encoding provided the encoding is 
listed in the message. If the encoding is not listed in the message 
(which means the message was created with a buggy email application) 
then you can change the encoding via Set Encoding in the View menu.

If you receive lots of broken messages encoded with the same encoding 
then you can define this encoding as "Fallback character encoding" in 
the configuration dialog under Appearance/Message Window.
