Sadly, this does not clear out the References and In-Reply-To headers shown above. While there are no doubt many clients and applications which are not affected by these headers, the fact is that many modern mail clients (eg Thunderbird) do use them to track conversations though the subject may change, as well as following individual threads within a conversation. The simple fix is to create a new message when you are creating a new thread, rather than trying to 'recycle' an old one.
