Doesn't matter. Without the headers most MUAs don't thread it. In the
case of Willy's message, the header:

In-Reply-To: <[email protected]>

Caused my MUA to attempt to thread it with a digest message I never
received, hence it started a new thread.


Subject change is _usually_ used the other way: to recognize that a
change beyond adding "Re: " means that the thread has branched.
