Note that not all messages are threaded. That just reflects a lack of 
threading information provides by certain MUA's. Where the threading 
information is available, the use of '| ' shows who is replying to whom. 
The last sugar is the '|-'. It might even be easier to read by adding a 
-terse option? a la

archive-index-thread-terse which might result in more compaction in the 
display line (i.e., one line per entry), e.g.,
