It should work in a way that Steve describe but often works like Nikos
said. I my case when you change the subject GMAIL treats that message
as new thread, that is way I do not like changing subjects.
I do not know who can I bomb with a feature request for more
intelligent thread merge for messages from discussion lists. There is
special marker in message headers to do that - GMAIL ignores that.
That's a shame bug.
