Note the In-Reply-To: header that contains the Message-ID: information from the
message being replied to.
A recursive train of those headers gives mail software, especially lists, a way
to make a collected display of threaded topics. Done that way there is no
confusion when someone corrects a spelling error in a subject line or adds
something like Re:, [G3-G5] or Antwort to a subject.
So messages in a thread are linked together individually rather than a
common identification in the headers of all messages in the thread?
Thank you for the information and the links. This will make it possible
for me to determine if it is a thread hijack or my email client that is
causing some messages to appear not threaded correctly.
