Well, it depends on how you define "proper". Again, to me this is
about user interface, and what is expected behavior. I dont think your
average (non-programmer) would think that a new message with a
different subject would be in the same thread. More importantly, the
interface revolution in gmail is the grouping of threads by
subject.This is one of the reasons that so many people love gmail. It
makes what used to be a much more complicated thing much easier to
follow. I think people are voting with their email accounts and by
this measure people in mailing lists *love* the gmail design. The high
percentage of gmail use vs aol or hotmail or outlook or whatever is no
coincidence.
