This is more the sort of answer I wanted. I am not necessarily a techie, but I

I did view source for the emails, but I just skimmed through. Maybe it is just
empty curiosity, but I tend to notice little discrepancies like that.
Sometimes they lead to interesting places, sometimes not.

I am still mystified about why the timestamps are
apparently
out-of-sequence, regardless who responded to whom. Did it really take
nearly two days for an email to be delivered?
You can see where the delay occurred by looking at the message
headers (View / View Source). Newer headers are tacked on to
the top so they show you deliveries to your mailbox and then
to your mail server and work back through the list server to
the sender's submission to his mail server.
However to see the reason for the delay you'd probably need
to see the mail server logs where the delay occurred.
A common reason for a delay is a temporary false mail server
Realtime Blackhole Listing (RBL).
I did try changing Kmail configuration to
organize all emails by threads.
This would be helpful for TDE's mailing list; however, I must choose to
organize all emails by threads, or none, and cannot choose only TDE's
folder to be threaded.
The Folders/Options settings are per-folder.
