When it was still a Google Group, I vaguely remember that CR's emailed 
posts all had a footer with the email address for posting a new thread*, 
and another for unsubscribing**. I haven't looked at 650B/iBOB/RBWOB in an 
email app in almost fifteen years; do those emails not have the New Post 
and Unsubscribe links for the groups?

* which a lot of posters missed, posting back to whichever thread they were 
reading when they decided to post on a new subject - the thread drift 
syndrome at its most basic

** which almost everybody missed all the time; the number of general "I 
wanna unsubscribe because [insert concern/ personal situation/grievance 
HERE]" posts out in public where everyone could see them - that happened at 
least 5-10 times a year, every year, in spite of the fact that if they'd 
just sent the message to the "unsubscribe" address linked in every email 
footer, only the list admin would have seen it

when they're really web forums with some email stuff pasted on

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.
