Tim, I think the header is "In-Reply-To: ".  Delete that, new Subject
and body and it appears as new thread (as intended), not a sub-thread.

Patrick,
A good start is to not assume the world in front of me is the same
as the world in front of you.  Your Mail User Agent (MUA) may work
that way.  My MUA does not.  In fact, my MUA doesn't have any idea
what a mouse is or how to respond to the click of the mouse.

Hopefully we can accept my apology for failing to remove the "I-N-R:"
header and talk about how to get my primary system functional again.

Jon
