Just a request - could we change subject lines when the subject changes? Actually, I can't remember how the <h1> thread became the FIR thread...
But anyway, I'm sure I'm not alone in liking the ability to scan my list inboxes for subject headings that I'm following.
When the subject changes you should start an entirely new email, not just change the subject of the message.
When you hit "Reply" to an email your email client actually sends back the id of the email you were replying to, which allows the mail server to keep track of the threads (even if subjects change).
If you want to make a thread of another (web standards related) topic then make sure you compose a new email and don't just reply to the original email thread.
Stuff like mail-archive.com uses the mail-id to do threading.
Also, if Peter ever gives us NNTP access to the list then these sort of problems become more apparent when everything is laid out in a tree view (some mail clients will also give you a tree view of mail threads as well -- for example Thunderbird and Mozilla Mail)
Cheers
