Threading is done based on more information than just the Subject. With 
most e-mail clients changing the Subject will still keep that 
information (on purpose, there may be good reasons for the author to do 
that).

At https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2020/11/threads.html you can see 
for yourself how your message is linked to the "files in zoneinfo" 
thread. It's the same for everybody reading the list on a 
thread-aware[1] e-mail client.

[1] as in e-mail clients that properly read (and set) the threading 
headers (In-Reply-To and References).

Kind regards,
Andrei
