Usually, but there are actually 3 different headers used by different mail systems: References ReplyID In-Reply-To But is you look at the email that this is in reply to (Al Everett's) you'll see that his email program did not give any of the above headers (looks like he's using exchange). This makes threading problematic and forces you to also rely on the subject to put an email message in the proper group. I group messages with the same subject within a week of each other together. Then I use any message-ids and references (et.al.) to thread them.
