Sorry, I thought removing all content and subject is sufficient. Maybe the 
message-id header is used internally(?)

TL;DR: technical details about message threading.  Not about Tomcat.

This is what happens when you reply to an existing message for a new topic rather than starting a brand new message:

There are headers in the message that facilitate threading that you can't normally see. These are the relevant headers in the message you replied to:

References: <[email protected]>
 <[email protected]>
 <[email protected]>
 <[email protected]>
 <[email protected]>
 <[email protected]>
In-Reply-To: <[email protected]>
Message-ID:
 <CANQXucfXnysDtn1kmK320AF6uYjrp=ncnmcuvsjbk9zvela...@mail.gmail.com>

And these are the relevant headers in your reply:

Message-ID: <[email protected]>
References: <[email protected]>
 <[email protected]>
 <[email protected]>
 <[email protected]>
 <[email protected]>
 <[email protected]>

While some mail clients will create threads on the message subject, these headers are the strictly correct way to show threads. We also see messages where people send a reply to a thread by writing a new message with the same subject. Clients that do threading properly will not show those messages as part of the thread.

Thanks,
Shawn
