Indeed. If you look at all the headers from your original email...

you can see all sorts of other goodies that are present in the email but 
just not shown by the client unless you specifically ask it to. To:, 
From:, and Subject: are just the headers that are normally what you are 
most interested in.
Specifically, there is an "In-Reply-To:" header left over from the 
previous topic which wouldn't be there if you started a new one :-)

To see these in K-Mail go to 'View' Menu -> Headers -> "All Headers"
