Threading based on the Subject line is fundamentally broken. Well-run
mailing lists use List-* and In-Reply-To headers to keep things
straight. Unfortunately many MUAs either don't respect these or don't
encourage list users to use them, and once the header chain is broken
it can't be re-joined, i.e. if someone uses Reply-To-All instead of
Reply-To-List then nothing following that reply will have the correct
headers. Evolution has a Group Reply button which tries to Do The Right
Thing whenever possible.
