This is usually referred to as "threading". Basically, every email sent
has a unique ID contained within the headers (created by the email
server when the message gets sent). When you reply to an email, yur
client should add a new header (In-Reply-To) containing the ID of the
email you're replying to. Unfortunately, some clients don't handle this
very well for mailing lists (where you're not replying to the original
author, but to the list) so it gets lost and the thread gets broken. As
for how to fix/work around this - that depends on your mail client.
