You clicked reply, deleted the existing subject, and wrote in your own,
instead of clicking 'new message' or something similar.

What happens is that your mail appeared in the ongoing divx6 thread,
instead of appearing in a new thread.
You'll see from this url where your mail came:
http://mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2006-April/thread.html

Alot of people use email clients which present a threaded view similar
to the one in the URL above, and to them, it's very annoying when
people trying to start new threads by replying in existing threads,
or when they start new threads when they meant to reply in an existing
thread.

So, to recap: If you are replying to something, use the reply button. If
you're creating a new thread, don't use the reply button.
