i would like every single email, beginning with the first sent or received email on a topic, to be able to be viewed in conversation - at present it is random
"view in conversation" is great when it works - problem is I cannot get it to appear on a "right click" on every email which I know is part of a conversation amongst one or several participants... the inability to see every email thread as "in conversation" is MADDENING, as it forces me to go digging in inboxes and outboxes all over Thunderbird (as i have mine setup to sort incoming responses into the various sender's own sub-folders...) There MUST be a way to default all emails so that once the back-and-forth between senders and receivers has begun. it is recognized as a conversation, RIGHT?
thanks gg

Your basic assumption is incorrect. Conversations are controlled by references headers. Some mail clients don't use then or even include them. Older copies of Outlook included.
open the source of mail in your conversations and look at the references header. I bet the ones that are not available simply do not include the relevant information.
