Deleting In-Reply-To does stop (good) mail clients from considering the
message part of the same thread, though in some cases also deleting (or
perhaps modifying?) the References header would be appropriate /
necessary to achieve that effect.

The trouble is that you didn't then change the Subject line, so
less-well-behaved mail clients will still sort it as part of the same
thread, and even for people who use better ones the message is still
being presented as being about the subject of the previous thread.

That said, it seems to me like it would be *more* trouble to manually
alter message headers before sending that way than it would be to
manually enter the To address... so I don't entirely understand why
you'd want to do it that way to begin with, except perhaps just "to see
if you can".
