Wait, how is pegasus doing threading? Threading should not need the
subject for anything, and just rely on the References and In-reply-to
headers.

Check if there's somehow a way to enable that kind of threading in your
client (although one wonders why would such option be disabled...).

I'd like libo-users, but like Tom said, the idea was to always use the
complete, full name, in order to avoid promoting several, different
names and nicknames.

But still, this is something kind of internal, and shortening it would
at least make more room in some screens for the actual message subject.
