It's wrong for every mail conversation.

Send a new message. If you hit "reply" then the threading information (in
-reply-to und references headers) gets inserted as well and thus the 
message gets threaded to that thread. Opposite to what some people who are 
new on the net believe the threading is *not* done by the subject but by 
the threading headers. The subject gets used only in case the threading 
headers are absent.
