As for #search(), but returns message sequence numbers in threaded format, as a Net::IMAP::ThreadMember tree. The supported algorithms are:

ORDEREDSUBJECT

split into single-level threads according to subject,

ordered by date.

REFERENCES

split into threads by parent/child relationships determined

by which message is a reply to which.

Unlike #search(), charset is a required argument. US-ASCII and UTF-8 are sample values.
