What happens is that every reply contains information that refers to the
message you "replied" to: the 'References' header and the 'In-Reply-To'
header. These are from the message I replied to:
References: <200411141657.25620.michaeltnorman@xxxxxxxxx>
<200411160921.01491.yep@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
<200411161225.58978.brian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
In-Reply-To: <200411161225.58978.brian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
(actually they are just two lines)
Whith this information, several newsreaders (KMail) can display messages in a
tree like way:
Subject1
|
+-- Re: Subject1
|
+-- Some different subject that does not belong here
|
+-- Re: Subject1
I like this very much. Sometimes people (yes, me too) get a bit upset if the
threading is disrupted by a 'thread-hijacker'. ;)
The way I prevent myself from hijacking threads is:
In KMail, I click on the email-address of the list that usually is displayed
in the 'To:' header of the mail I'm viewing. In KMail this is click-able, and
a click opens a 'New email' with the right address already inserted.

I don't think you said too much. Perhaps it is good to explain this once in a
while. :)
