Sorry Johan for the dupe ]
I discussed this with a pine user in #git and we concluded (looking at
the respective code) that both Mutt and Pine generate correct filenames
based on when that mail arrived to the Maildir.
I use Mutt, and to test it I picked a thread that didn't arrive in
order, tagged and copied it to a different Maildir, patches were
splitted in correct order.
