Yes, but the sender of a message has to actively do that and all others
have to follow it. Also you can't retroactively split of a part of a
thread into a new one.
With a web-forum the admin/moderator can split the thread, even after
the fact and everybody is forced to follow.
How this would translate to the mail interface (my guess: it doesn't) is
another question.
