Yes, this has been mentioned before. I remember from the early days of this hack when I used it to mirror a yahoo group, I spent half my time manually merging threads. It drove me mad.
As far as I can tell, the script doesn't rely on matching thread titles at all, but by references in the headers (which works great for usenet, which is built on this standard).
If there isn't a reference or a match then a new thread is started. I should think it is possible to do a secondary check against a thread title before starting a new thread.
I will have a look and see how difficult this would be to implement. I am no expert at php - I just look at other peoples scripts and figure it out (sometimes!).
