The only way is the subject. You can do a diff on the subject and see how much of it changed. So that if you add Solved: or Spam: or Re: or Fwd: to the subject line, it doesn't change the thread. But if somebody creates a brand new subject, it should be a brand new thread.
But in general, people should not be lazy and have the cf-talk within easy reach when creating a thread.
