Zombie,
Using your mail client's "Reply" command and then editing the Subject
to something completely different does not create a new topic thread.
Igor showed you the "References:" and "In-Reply-To:" headers that
better mail clients use to organize threads according to their actual
lineage. This is the preferred means for a mail (or news) client to
define a topic thread because subject headers, which often fragment,
are truncated and generally diverge for various reasons, are not useful
for inferring topic thread membership.
If, like me, you use Eudora, then you may be unaware of these threading
links in mail headers, thinking it's only a news thing, perhaps.
