Paula, When you use reply the header of your message (most of which is not displayed by your email reader) contains a hidden link to the original message to which you are replying. Correct email programs use those references in message headers, not the subject line, to build the thread of messages and replies. If you are interested and if your email program allows try looking at the message source text to see all the hidden bits. I use Thunderbird for my email and in that program use View > Message Source. I do not know how other programs let you do that.
Here is the cross reference from your message header which links your reply to the previous message: In-Reply-To: <[email protected]> To truly start a new thread you should use write so there is no cross-reference to a previous message in the header of your email.
