If I am one of the guilty ones, I wouldn't know how my mailer does it anyway. 
And, showing my ignorance for all to see, I thought threading was only something 
newsgroups did (many of them have an xref line in the header, where mail has no 
such cross-refs). It would appear to me that MUAs artificially induce threading. 
And when the mailer sees a reply done a little differently, it breaks that 
thread.
