Hi Ritesh,
comment #3 is only halfway correct, however this is indeed no bug, but a
feature. Admittedly it doesn't work correct in all cases, so this is a valid
bug.

While RFC-compatible clients use the "thread-ID" and "references" headers,
Microsoft does not, so if the one answering you uses an Outlook client, most
other mailreaders can't aggregate them to a thread.
For these cases, Kmail has an additional threading method based on subject. You
can turn it on or off in Configure->Appearance->Message List->Default
Aggregation->Configure->Groups and Threading->Threading.
Normally it should be off IMHO.

Regards, Pancho
