I use discourse in mailing list mode. It only looks unthreaded :-)

What actually happens is that it has its own message-ids and mangles 
things, and treats some headers differently. Eg if I post to discourse, 
the copy of the message which comes to me from discourse has a discourse 
generated message-id, not my original message-id.

I did a bit of digging here:

but have not got to submitting a bug report.
