Changing the Subject line is not sufficient to start a new thread. The
key is composing a new message, rather than replying to an existing
message. When you reply to a message, your mail client should add
headers which enable most mail clients to determine which thread it
belongs to, regardless of subject. For example, Nils, your message
included the headers

Had you changed the Subject, my mail program would still have included
your message in this thread. More importantly, the list archiver would
also have done so. If you search the mysql list archive, you will find
numerous examples of threads which suddenly switch to unrelated
subjects, because someone started a new topic by replying to an
unrelated email and changing the Subject line, rather than starting a
new message.
