Create a filter with the following settings.
On the General tab:
- Leave the Filter Criteria empty.
- Add two Filter Actions:
  [Remove Header] "In-Reply-To"
  [Remove Header] "References"
On the Advanced tab:
- Uncheck all options except for "Add this filter to the Apply Filter 
menu". Optionally, assign a shortcut to this filter and/or add it to 
the toolbar.

Last but not least, give the filter a nice name. I've called it "Remove 
In-Reply-To header".

Now, whenever you want to break a thread simply apply this filter
- either via Apply Filter->Filter "Remove In-Reply-To header" in the 
Message menu or the context menu of the message
- or via the shortcut (in case you did assign one)
- or via the toolbar button (in case you did add one)


In theory this works perfectly. Unfortunately, in practice it does not 
work as expected with (online) IMAP folders because KMail caches the 
In-Reply-To and the References header for IMAP messages and does not 
notice that they have been removed.
