As far as I can see, this patch only works if the same users are notified during all the issue thread. But this is not the case.

Yes, it is same behavior before #5037.
Note-7 patch message id:
Issue adding:
Message-ID: <redmine.issue-72.20140627064350.1ebc022e@example.net>
Issue editing:
Message-ID: <redmine.journal-142.20140627064557.1ebc022e@example.net> References: <redmine.issue-72.20140627064350.1ebc022e@example.net>
Updated by Jean-Philippe Lang over 10 years ago
No it's not the same behaviour as before #5037. Before #5037, we always had a single email notification, the first message-id and all references were fixed, eg. <redmine.issue-72.20140627064350@example.net>
.
With the patch in note-7 applied, the references header changes if a new custom field is added or if you change the permissions on custom fields. And that breaks all the thread. Exemple:
Issue creation:
Message-ID: <redmine.issue-16507.20140705102246.3ecc5e01@redmine.org>
First update (OK):
Message-ID: <redmine.journal-55676.20140705102328.3ecc5e01@redmine.org> References: <redmine.issue-16507.20140705102246.3ecc5e01@redmine.org>
After adding a new custom field, you get:
Message-ID: <redmine.journal-55677.20140705102736.49bb14f7@redmine.org> References: <redmine.issue-16507.20140705102246.49bb14f7@redmine.org>

Yes. But, it keeps while custom field condition.
In other case before #5037, if user not get issue creating mail, then by watching user get issue editing mail, mail thread is broken on some mailer.
This issue is mail thead broken on some mail in spíte of getting issue creating mail and not changing custom field condition.

I think that adding consistent Message-Id and References filed will be easier if per user notification sending is implemented by #26791. We don't have to use random_hex in Mailer.token_for method. Instead, we can use EmailAddress#id or some hash value generated from an email address.
The following is an example of the idea.
Issue adding:
Message-Id: <redmine.issue-#{object.id}.#{timestamp}.#{email_address.id}@example.net>
Issue editing:
Message-Id: <redmine.journal-#{object.id}.#{timestamp}.#{email_address.id}@example.net> References: <redmine.issue-#{object.id}.#{timestamp}.#{email_address.id}@example.net>

I wrote a patch.
In Redmine 3.4, Redmine may generate multiple notification messages and each message is sent to multiple recipients grouped by custom fields visibility. For example, if there are 6 recipients and they are grouped to 3 groups by custom fields visibility, Redmine generates 3 messages and then pass those to a mail server. Of course, each message has 2 recipients.
Since multiple messages are generated at once when updating one issue, Redmine adds a random key to the message-id to ensure the message-id is unique. Because the random key is never stored, Redmine cannot reproduce the message-id generated in the past and cannot set exact id to the References field in the notification message when the issue is updated. This is why emails are not properly threaded.
In the latest Redmine 4.0, one message is always sent to one recipient. Since one message is never addressed to multiple recipients, we can use recipient user information like user_id. If we use user_id instead of a random key to make a unique message-id, we can set the correct and exact value to References field in the message when the issue is updated because message ids generated in the past is always reproducible. By doing that, emails should be threaded properly.
The attached patch uses user_id to generate unique message-ids.
