The offending posting came from Webmaster <[email protected]> and

Note that mail clients which use those In-Reply-To and Reference headers 
confuse, in this case, three separate topics because they are linked to each 
other. Linking is accomplished for users whenever they use the reply to option 
in their mail clients.

Changing the subject line on a reply is NOT equivalent to creating a new 
message!

That is rarely understood by email users. It's a shame that mail clients don't 
make it apparent to users. I guess it's because software salesmen don't want to 
confuse their users.
