No, it isn't -- every email has its Message-ID header. Good email programs (which includes probably all Linux email clients, including Evolution, of course) are able to use these to show threads of the email messages. The way it is done with some less capable email clients used in other operating systems -- where threads are built according to Subjects -- is bad, because there is nothing wrong with changing Subject in the middle of the thread, actually it is even a good idea, when the discussion slides to be something very different from the original post. Morever, starting new thread by writing new mail, which has nothing to do with the previous thread (there is nothing wrong with copying email list address to the clipboard from the previous message, and creating new email with that), is that your email will be on the top level in email clients. If you file your question on fifteenth level as a reply to the hundred-and-fiftieth message in the thread, your message will end buried somewhere deep in all clients, and quite likely it will be ignored. If you write a new message with well designed subject line, it will be on the top level in email clients and everybody will see it.
