Is case it wasn't clear, although you changed the subject text, the reply
message you created still pointed (using header fields you don't normally
see) to the message you replied to. That link between messages caused
you message about a new subject to be listed as being related to the
message about the old subject (at least in mail software or webmail pages that
show "threading" using those headers).
