Hi,

Threading in KMail is based on the In-Reply-To header, which is the right way 
to do it. Threading on subject is not relyable, because nothing stops people 
from having a subject line that is exactly the same as in another, entirely 
different thread (and this happens quite a lot).

I think there was a discussion about having an option to use subject based 
threading in the kde-pim mailing list. You should search the archive and see 
what the others had to say.

Best regards.
