It does. Evo is my preferred client and threading works as it's supposed
to (i.e. using the In-Reply-To header). However there is also a
preference option to allow it to fall back to subject-based threading
when the standard method fails (look under the Preferences->Mail
Preferences->General tab). This is mainly for compatibility with
Outlook, which is broken in this regard.
