I'm pretty sure it uses the Message-ID and not the subject. That's why you can have conversations get hijacked when some lazy slob hits REPLY (to save themselves from having to enter an email address by hand) and then changes the subject to something entirely new.

Gmail kinda makes it hard to change the subject (one whole click), so it kinda reduces this behavior. But still, not everyone uses Gmail.

And I agree, props to Google for pushing it.

I remember lots of people hated gmail's 'conversations' when it was launched. I had mixed feelings about the implementation, but now, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Don't even get me started on software patents :)

Could NOT agree more!

"Lady Gaga"... Sell out. Studio trash. Perfectly crafted and ready to consume and monetize. Oh, and a *hit* video at no additional cost! Bleh!

I couldn't have said this better (especially the 'offends us' bit). BTW, great comment, rdd.
