Actually, the header required is "In-Reply-To". You also need a Message-ID but usually mail software will attach this all the time. Nevertheless I see my irony is missed (which is not unusual with humans) so I'll spell it out. The original poster appeared to complain of people starting new threads on the same subject. However, given there was no "In-Reply-To" header (or a References header), his posting actually started a new thread.
