No, Anne is right.
Mail client such as KMail sort primarily by references and, often optionally, 
secondarly by subject.

Basically replying to a different thread, even when changing subject, is bad 
*because* people tend to have the concept of "thread" as something sorted by 
subject and then might misunderstand correct threading as a bug.

Kevin
