But only in thread-challenged newsreaders.  ;-)

(I believe that true "threading" is done on article IDs, not such
capricious things as character strings in subject headers etc.
If you have a squiz at Dejanews, for example, you'll see that while
changes in text fields such as "Subject:" do show up, they do so as 
sub-threads of the original.)
