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.
