Yes this is it.

Taken from the RFC822 headers of the original messagefrom shimi:
Message-ID:<Pine.LNX.4.10.10106290248570.12018-100000@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
(there is no In-Reply-To: because it was created from scratch using "new
message")

Then from Dan's message:
Message-ID: <NDBBLPLFKLPKMLKNPCKDKEEOFJAA.webhosting@xxxxxxxxx> and
In-Reply-To: <Pine.LNX.4.10.10106290248570.12018-100000@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Then shimi's answer:
In-Reply-To: <NDBBLPLFKLPKMLKNPCKDKEEOFJAA.webhosting@xxxxxxxxx>
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.10.10106290933460.21685-100000@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

etc etc

A good email client will built the thread upon these headers,
erasing subject and body won't suppress it. I know that Netscape and
TheBat! are doing so, I'm guessing Emacs too and probably Pine too.
