I'm using OS X Mail which groups message threads. Sometimes new
threads are grouped incorrectly -- being filed under a previous

Example, I started a thread on 6/14, "BNF to EBNF" on 6/15 it
changed to "File Type & Creator", then again on 6/15 it changed to
"Comment on progressbars..."
Does anyone know if this is this the result of hitting reply to a
message (for the convenience of capturing the email address of the
list) and changing the Subject line? IIRC, a "Message ID" or some
such is retained in the reply and used by e-mail clients to group
threads.
I believe it is. In other words, anyone submitting a post which is
not actually a reply should set the address anew. Otherwise it
highjacks existing threads.
