I know David has explained how the newsfeeds associate conversation
threads before, but I can't remember any details.

The list archive software, and many mail clients, use the 'message id' header of the message to track threads.

If you reply to a message, the message id you reply to is added to the message you send. This way software knows the reply is part of a thread.

If you reply to a message and just change the subject, the message id is still sent.

The only way to TRULY start a new thread is to create a brand new message addressed to the list address (WDSCI-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx).

Any further questions about should be sent to support@xxxxxxxxxxxx.

Thanks!
