I think if you reply to a message and change the subject line, the Google Groups system keeps the new messages under the existing thread despite the new subject. Starting a new thread has to be done explicitly. At least, that’s been my experience. Normally I read messages in the digest in the Mail app on my Mac/iPhone. If I want to reply to something from the digest, I go to the Google Groups system in a browser. (Replying to the digest email is very confusing to the system.) If I have contributed to a thread, I become subscribed to that thread and I get the individual messages that follow. If replying to an individual message, I sometimes do that in my Mail app, sometimes in the Google Groups system in a browser. If I want to start a new thread, I do that in the Google Groups system in a browser. I’m a fan of starting a new thread when the topic drifts, and I appreciated that you tried to do that here! As an experiment, I’m sending this as a reply to Patrick’s message, with a changed subject. I’m also going to explicitly start a new thread on Google Groups.
