On older programs the subject line was used to create threads, but then
they added a line into the header of the email instead. Now it does not
matter what you have in the subject line, it will follow a line in the
header to determine how it's threaded.

That means if you have an old program you can start a new thread by
simply replying to any email in the list. These days you have to use New
email rather than Reply to. Or, what really is your new thread will
actually continue inside someones thread, making a mess for every one
with a decently new email program.
