Threads in the midrange-l archives.

I noticed that my phone request thread has two separate threads in the 
midrange-l archives.  In fact the initial thread seems to be a subthread 
of another thread.

Is this because the thread is linked by some hidden email attribute, and I 
initiated the thread the way I always did, (before this email anyway) by 
doing a reply on some non related message and just changing the subject? 
Do the archive threads work better if you start from scratch, and not a 
reply to, and manually fill in the To: line?

If it was some hidden email attribute then I wonder what caused Eric's 
reply to start up a second thread.  Does he reply via the nntp or to 
emails directly?  Is his client so radically different it blasts that 
hidden email field?
