Earlier, someone kindly pointed me to several examples of threads on
GMANE that were intact, even with changed subject lines. I haven't
used GMANE regularly since I started using Gmail, about two months

threads becoming broken. That appears to be resolved now.

Gmail and MARC still seem to break threads though.
