I have been trying out the new ‘Nested Replies’ feature in version **2026.6.0-latest** - but found that replies to unrelated threads are appearing as ‘nested’ responses to user posts, and much of any given thread can simply disappear, to great confusion all round.

I wonder if this might be something to do with this nesting feature not correctly handling messages received via the pre-existing reply by email function?

Most of my users reply by email - and those replies are being directed to the correct threads when nesting is turned off - but as soon as nested replies is activated, the replies are seemingly shuffled to random other threads.

As soon as the feature is deactivated again, sanity returns.
