Richard:

Here is a prior email I sent out to the group on this. 

>Threading is more complicated than that. It's the ability to maintain the

>able to track using Message-Id, References, and In-Reply-To headers.
>Usually the last thing you want to use as a fall back is subject

>mailing list software when you reply to a message, so you can't count on
>that to give you a consistent way to track and thread messages.
