Some mail clients will use the subject for determining threading, but that's not particularly accurate for large numbers of replies. Because of that, a good client will instead use identifiers from the headers that indicate exactly which message was replied to. That means that when someone replies to a message simply to set the sender information, your client passes the identifiers along to tell recipients that this is a reply and not an original message.
