App version

Where did you get the app from?
Google Play
Android version
12
Device model
Oneplus 8T
Steps to reproduce
Have multiple mails in the inbox, some of which are grouped into into a thread, and one of which is not
Tap a non-threaded e-mail to view it
Go to the threaded e-mails, either with the arrow buttons at the top (or swiping in the new version), or by archiving the e-mail, so K-9 automatically jumps to a different e-mail.
Expected behavior
It first goes to the oldest e-mail in the thread (assuming you were viewing an older message and jumped to the next one), and then as you keep archiving/swiping it goes to the next e-mail in the thread and so on.
Actual behavior
It only shows the newest e-mail in the thread, with no way to swipe to previous e-mails.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the Android app using the listed version, device, and steps, then inspect the message-navigation behavior for threaded emails during swiping and archiving. Done means navigation reaches each message in the thread in order, including older messages, rather than only showing the newest one.
