There are unreliable mail headers that could contain this information. I
know of "References", which might look something like this...
References:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
<002f01c07750$d2513400$[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
(although it could just be on one line).
I've recently also seen In-Reply-To, e.g.,
In-Reply-To: <000d01c078ee$6da2a8a0$[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Both of these a referring to the Message-ID header of the original message.
However, I've also seen many replies that do not have any such information,
so you might just have to fall back to checking subjects as a last resort.
