If you want to thread mails by subject you need to turn off the
mail.strict_threading preference. If the replies don't begin with Re:
then you will also need to turn on the mail.thread_without_re
preference. After using about:config to change these preferences you
will need to restart; then you can rebuild the summary file to rethread
the messages.


Thank you Neil, now it works as I intended. Of course, that change in about:config is "global" for all mail accounts. Wish it could be set per account.

As I said, I can see the point in threading By the "References" line in the header. The backside of threading by subject is that when I receive mails sent from mail programs (i.e. OE) "translated" to my native language (Swedish) they may not thread correctly, since the "Re:" is changed to "SV:". So the subject line can have a lot of "Re: SV: Re: SV: after posting back and forth several times. ;)

But at least now I'll see what option is more inconvenient in a long view, and can change it back if I want to.
