MUA ?

Well. In contrary, I really appreciate when people change the subject
when a part of the thread opens a new topic that is related to the
original question

* In-Reply-To header should be used by your MUA to build the thread
* You can rely on the subject to keep track of the open subtopic

which is really convenient but requires to use a decent MUA
(mutt, thunderbird, … you name it)

If you want your MUA to lose track of the thread, just remove
the In-Reply-To header.
