So did I. but I thought that the input was such that each of those
selects would only pick up one message. (Without seeing the input
it's a bit hard to tell:-)

$MID isn't a parameter to the template so if any instance of
select = "//Message[ParentMessageID = '$MID']">
selects more than one message, then the output will be rather strange
as you'll get a tr row for each message but after each one
an identical set of nodes would be processed by the apply-templates.
My solution was based on this observation leading me to assume
that the input was rather restricted.
If not then the whole thing is probably wrong, but in that case Ithink
we need more info about what the input does look like.
