Maybe, it would be nice when other gmail users
explain gmail users how to use gmail proper,
instead of that I have to inform myself about
gmail.

This is only a backup for threading mails - threading by subjects.
The better way is threading with working "References" in the header.
Q: Is gmail killing this reference line in the header when the Subject
does not begin with "re:"? Realy? Can you test this?
BTW, it seems that e.g. Ryan is using "Apple Mail" as MUA.
(Mail user agent = email client)
AFAIK "Apple mail" can set "References" in the header.
So the question stil is, what make the "References" missing
for Ryan by using gmail.
Greetings,
rob
