The primary method of matching threads is by a reference number which is inthe headers of newsgroup posts and emails. This was written by Lierduh and is highly effective. All newsgroups thread pretty much perfectly just by this method.

Some mail groups (my personal experience is with Yahoo groups) do not reliably put the reference number in the header of the email, therefore I wrote a secondary check (case insensitive!) which checks again before starting a new thread. The "Re: " can appear anywhere in the subject title.

If you really, really have problems, you can find in the script where it searches for "Re: " and change it to "", and it will search every post that comes through for a subject match. This WILL slow things down, and will also match a thread from (say) 3 years ago if it has the same title. This is completely untested (and not recommended) as the basic threading will pick up most of them.
