Can fix that by relying on the correspondents involved, and the References header too.

Well, ignoring Gmail, in mutt, if you turn on strict-threading, then it's not an issue. However, anytime someone uses a program that doesn't respect References or In-Reply-To, a thread breaks. So I think you ultimately have to rely on Subject threading as a method to fall back on... if the user wants it that way.

To look at it another way, no matter how hard I try, I'm not going to get my boss to change his email habits. In fact, I shouldn't be worrying about his habits at all - that's a waste of my time.

Or maybe just a list of stupid subjects.

That may be a solution. Ultimately, sometimes things will get lumped into threads whether you want them to or not. The best solution is to either ignore it when it happens, or break the thread if your program supports that option when it really bugs you.
