           Summary: kmail threading is broken
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: rrs at researchut.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

The kmail threading system looks to be weird. Any usual client (though I
haven't used the other ones lately) seems to be threading messages based on its
message headers, but in case of kmail, the threading seems to be done on the
basis of subject keyword.
If kmail finds a subject keyword match, it groups those messages into a single
thread, which is wrong.

For example, say, I send a "Hi" message to Person X 2 weeks ago. Now 2 weeks
later, I send another "Hi" message to Person X.
These 2 messages are unique. Right ?
Kmail groups both these messages into a single thread.
