Threading has nothing to do with subject lines.  RFC822 (now 5822) specifies 
how this works based on message ID.  This thread displays fine in threaded 
mode in my MUA and in the archives.

If people could please reply to threads properly, inline and trimming non 
relevant text, it would make following discussion much easier.
