Look, I'm no expert, but it seems to me that I should be able to reply
to another email and start a new thread. If the standard doesn't allow
for that, it's broken. The sending email client could just drop the
message ID when you change the subject, or the receiving client could
use a combination of message IDs and subject lines to handle threads.

I guess I can't relate--Gmail handles threads beautifully.
