Yes, that means, if you have a completely new message that has nothing to do with an existing thread, PLEASE write a completely NEW message and don't just hit reply and change the subject. The reason for this is that in good mail programs, threading not only works by subject (like with poor mail programs), but also using the "References" and "In-Reply-To" information that is part of the mail header. That way, the threading can be very precise. If you just hit reply and change the subject, your mail will end in the wrong thread, as those headers are not deleted. Also, it will show up in the wrong place in many mailing list archives, which makes searching for it more difficult.
