I've purposely changed the subject, and I expect it to stay in the same
thread as usual -- this functionality goes back at least as far as
Mozilla and probably all the way to Netscape. If INFO WG'S system isn't
sorting correctly, perhaps (s)he's sorting by subject and not by thread.
SeaMonkey knows the difference.
[INFO WG was the person who, I thought, had changed the subject of Robert
Kaiser's original post. I was the one who said his/her thread did not thread
with the original post.]
But you are right. YOUR post (with yet another subject) is indeed displayed with
the rest of INFO WG's thread. So I guess I was mistaken about Mozilla reader
using Subject line to do the threading. (Maybe it is some other reader that does
this.)
Looking at the headers of INFO WG's post, it contains no References line, so
maybe INFO WG was not making a reply, but rather deliberately creating a new
thread with a manually inserted "Re: ". This is the opposite of what you are
suggesting.
