I do not know how it looks like in the web-interface,
but my mailreader shows the messages threaded, independant
of the subject line.

(This sometimes causes trouble when people want to
 start an new thread by simply responding a message
 and changing the title.)

When you write your bbs-mail-interface, please continue
to use the References:-Mechanism.
