@m-natarajan : Tried steps in latest version of Chrome. I am not able to reproduce the issue in staging with email addresses created using same parent email (ones created using adding '+' in the email) as well as an entirely independent email address. I can see the parent of the thread for both users. Please see screenshot below.

But from a usability standpoint, it doesn't look like a parent - child tree view, rather is a flat list stating 'Thread' and 'Replies'. As an end user, I would have liked to have this view as a configurable entry.

@brkdavis this bug is currently only reproducible on main, not on staging

@m-natarajan @zanyrenney this is reproducible now on staging; it may be a deploy blocker
