except that some readers (slrn for example) break threads on purpose
when the subject changes. See the "new_subject_breaks_threads" setting:
http://slrn.sourceforge.net/manual/slrn-manual-4.html

This is normally a _good_ thing.

It's not useless. Of the 50 or so mailing lists I read, the only ones
with broken threading are the mplayer ones. And they're broken by a
single mailer:

X-Mailer: GyikSoft Mailer for UNIX v3.7beta by Arpi/ESP-team (http://esp-team.scene.hu)

If there were a good reason to repeat "Re: " with every reply, maybe I
wouldn't complain. But it's pointless even if you're not threading at
all. It just pushes the subject off the screen.
