I have seen this on other lists as well.  If there is strong order to
the subject (I think the RE:, etc has to be before the [xmail]),
subject threading works great, but if it is like this list, then, from
my experience, it has to thread with the In-Reply-To: header. The problem
is people generally reply to a thread, then change the subject and
start a clean body, instead of typing a completely new message like
you did (look in the headers, your post is missing this header, mine
will have it).

It may use the References: header too, I'm not totally sure, just
played with it a little.
