Thanks for your answer.

I'm relieved.

Actually, you're right, and the messages are there, tagged as could be
expected, and I was just confused by the change of subject by someone
who used a reply instead of posting a new mail.

Is there a way to change the summary behaviour, i.e. report the initial
thread's subject instead of the latest (configurable option ?) ?

I think I could also imagine a feature that could "split" threads in
such cases, i.e. overriding the in-reply-to headers somehow. What do you
think ?

I'll probably convert this bug as a wishlist for the summary behaviour option
idea.

Thanks again, David.
