In "proper" email systems, threading is determined by Message-ID,
References, and In-Reply-To headers, not the subject line and content:

https://cr.yp.to/immhf/thread.html

Non-"proper" emails systems, such as, IIRC, Gmail, may do threading
based on subject and content ;)

On a list like this, changing the subject line while leaving the other
headers in place will result in many users' MUAs still associating the
new message with the old thread, annoying those users. Just compose a
new message.
