There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding about this bug.

I've come to confirm this report, as I've also used Mail.app on OS X, and dearly
miss this behaviour.

Put it like this:

1) Closed threads should display the date of the latest message.
2) Threads (closed and opened) should be sorted in the list by latest message date.

This should work for both received date (ala. SPAM) and sent date.

This is a problem since when someone replies to a long-dormant thread, it is
VERY difficult to find/see this mail message, especially since it's not very
clear when there is a new message in a thread. (The underline is really not that
visible)

I hope this explanation is a bit more clear...
