As a google user I'd like to chime in that I'm in the camp that would
like to nag google into fixing gmail so that it respects the
particular header that keeps threads together based on references
rather than subject lines.  Or at least gives users the option to
group 'conversations' that way.

But just to be clear on what we're asking for am I right in assuming
that the header in question is the one that looks like this?

Has any other Gmail user read any official statement from the Gmail
people about this issue?
