no, it is the correct behaviour.

The subject is not a good way to determine, that a mail belong in a thread or 
not. RE, Re [RE], {AW}. is only one thing that changes in the subject.

Looking at the header is 'the standard', a mailer not doing it is inherently 
broken.

And taking over threads, because you are too lazy to click on 'new mail' is 
even more broken.
