Since the message ids are known from the "References" header, how about 
using virtual messages. I.e.

[Unknown message: <msgid@host>]
+- Re: Some subject

Ideally, the whole tree could be reconstructed, even if many messages are 
gone (or delayed). If the "References" header is missing or broken, 
fallback to "In-Reply-To" could at least reconstruct some parts of the 
tree.
