Full ACK on my side. I also liked your former suggestion with the messge box 
popping up if the user changes the subject of a reply. Such a message box 
could look like this:

  +-----------­----------------------------------------------------+
  | You changed the subject even though you replied to a message. |
  | What do you want to do?                                       |
  |                                                               |
  |    [ Create a new thread ] [ Add old subject ] [ Cancel ]     |
  +---------------------------------------------------------------+

"Create a new thread" will clear the References and In-Reply-To, "Add old 
subject" adds a " (was: old subject)" to the new subject and what "Cancel" 
does should be obvious :o)

But I think the discussion drifted from "How to make the user create a new 
thread correctly" to "How to display messages coming in, written with 
another MUA which doesn't warn its users if they create a new message by 
replying on older threads".

Cheers,
Malte
