Here's one idea: What if the mailing list program was configured to automatically generate a new thread ID from any "reply to" message where the subject was changed? In other words, any time you changed the subject of an email thread it would automatically create a new thread.
The only problem with that is that topics within a series evolve, and sometimes one changes the subject name to better reflect the current topic or just to make the subject line clearer.
My suggestion would be to make it only generate a new ID if the "re:" portion of the subject was removed. If it still has an "re:" then it keeps the new post part of the old thread.
