To explain further...

Every email has an id which you don't see.

When you reply to a message in your mail client, it will insert an In- 
Reply-To header, with the ID of the message you were replying to.

So when you hit 'reply' on JLM's message, removed the contents and  
then wrote your own message, it was marked as being a reply rather  
than being a new mail in its own right.

My mail client threads based upon In-Reply-To and thus it confuses me  
when I see an unrelated message in the thread.

I hope that clarifies for you. Please try not to misthread in future.

Cheers,
