After much consideration Mark Thomas decided to share these wise words:
>I am currently in the process of coding an NNTP client for my colleges LAN,
>but I have a problem.  I can read the messages on the server, but I don't
>know how to group them into threads for display.

I don't think there is a definitive answer on how to do this.

You get a few clues, and you just have to use them to get a result you
like:
+   the Subject: line, (less any 're:' style prefixes)
+   the References: line which should list the previous articles in the 
    thread, but may be broken and list them in a different order or just
    the first article or an the article actually being responded to.
+   the time/date stamp may help too.


Cheers.
