That is clearly Gmail's thinking, since it does indeed sort on
subject - "conversation". I don't like it and much prefer threading by id,

KMail on my machine is playing up this morning, but by that I mean that I am
having more trouble than usual getting it to do what I want it to. If this
state of affairs continues, I shall obviously have to do something about it;
so that I can stay in control and not be taken over by the machine.
