I don't know about TB 2.x as I use the pre-released TB 3 (Shredder) only
for testing. But in TB 2.x - select View|Layout|Wide View & Message
Pane. Your threaded mgs should be properly threaded. I always arrange
the column panes to:
thread attach subject tag read from date lines junk
but you can drag & drop them to whatever order you wish.

I actually use SeaMonkey instead... Evo barfs on large newsgroups
because you can't limit the amount of msg headers downloaded, so you
have to wait until it downloads all of them. Thunderbird is a bit too
'Firefox' like for me & you still need to load a browser. SeaMonkey
combines browser, email/news, chatzilla, and composer all in one
package. It's faster & less bloated than TB and Fx combined (IMO).

I've been using the pre-released SeaMonkey (2.0b1pre) for sometime and
it shares much of the same code of the yet to be released Thunderbird 3
(code named Shredder) & browsing engines/code of Fx 3.x. New filters
allow filtering on headers in newsgroups in the same way you can in
emails, etc. However, you can try the existing version of SeaMonkey:

$ sudo apt-get install seamonkey

Only problem is that version is 1.1.15 and is two versions behind on
security updates.

My advise is to just install directly from mozilla.org instead.
