Yes all well written modern software does, it uses various headers in the
mail.  For example, your message quoted my message id:

  References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Meaning that clever software can handle it.  Unfortuatly, some people are
stuck using Outlook which isn't very clever at all and breaks threading
all over the place.  Silly software.

This is why it's helpful to include the old subject in there for
completeness sake.

Do what you think is best.
