This is not quite correct.  I refer to the Subject: only if no other
thread information is present, i. e. if we have working In-reply-to:
and/or References: hewaders this works fine for me, too.

The problem is that only very few people provide correct thread
references with updated patches.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
