That's nothing to do with changing the To: address. Any post that is a
reply should carry a References: header that identifies the msg-id of the
post to which it is a reply. For instance, I hit "reply" when writing this,
and it came up only with your name in the To: field; I manually edited it to
the cygwin list address, now let's see if it gets threaded properly...

The reason that _your_ posts aren't properly linked is because your mail
software is faulty and it doesn't add a References: header. Here's the
headers from that previous post of yours: note the absence of said
header.....

Hmm. Looking at the empty X-MS-* headers, I wonder if your .edu has some
kind of content-filtering gateway that is rewriting and mangling your
headers?
cheers,
