Any client that behaves like it's supposed to will do that. Threads are 
tracked by lines in the headers, _not_ the subject line. For example, 
the message I'm replying to had this in the header:

In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

which identifies the message that you replied to. Had you changed the 
subject, that header would still be there and it would still appear in 
the same thread.

AFAIK Linux offers propolice, a stack protection mechanism.  It is
well implemented under the Gentoo platform.  Not sure about which
other distributions currently offer implementations of this security
technique.

I seem to remember difficulties running any kind of X with
propolice/PaX.  Seems that it has been implemented in OpenBSD 3.3 and
later....
