The five email replies you want are still individual emails.
Emails are ALWAYS "individual", and reply emails simply have a
References: and/or In-Reply-To: header in them.

Whether your mail client shows them as individual mails is another story. I also suspect whatever mail client you're using isn't rendering thread hierarchies correctly.

Most good mail clients use the same algorithm to display message threads since the days of Netscape:

I've also modified that algorithm to be recursion-free for public-inbox:

Btw, please disable HTML mail in your mail client or it won't show up on the list (and other people won't be able to help). I may not be around much for a bit.
