The other way that threads get broken is by thread 'hijacking'. If I
were to hit reply to any message on this thread, change the subject and
delete the body, I could write a 'new' message. Threaded clients would
see that new message as part of the existing thread, but others would
simply see a new message with a new subject. It's bad form to use
'reply' and change the subject. If you're going to change the subject,
start with a new and blank message.

Looking at recent instances of thread-breaking tells a different story:

While these mailers are all running on Microsoft OSes, none of them are
actual Microsoft products.
