Then we have a problem. I don't have the fall back to subject --- option
checked. But in the recent complaint about thread highjacking a thread I
did not see the hijacking in my mail list. So there is something
missing in the explanation given for the highjacking complaint.

How in evolution to you tell the program to thread by In-Reply-To header
and not by subject? And if you thread by In-Reply-To hader threading how
can you tell when the thread ends (since subject line can change)?
