Everything you say is valid.

However, your solution is to try to change other people's behaviour 
which, history suggests, is likely to be of limited success (hence this 
kind of posting appearing from time to time). What is needed is more is 
a solution that the person who perceives the problem can implement, and 
a reasonable starting point would seem to be intelligence in the MUA 
that notices that this reply both has a new subject and no quoted text 
from earlier replies, and is thus likely to be a new thread.

Bit controversial for 06:26, sorry!
