I hit reply and changed the subject.

Please stop doing that.

That's what I do on my local

LUG list and nobody complained so, I don't know if I have committed some list faux pas, so apologies if I have done.

It's wrong for every mail conversation.

Perhaps you can set me straight on where I am going wrong?

Send a new message. If you hit "reply" then the threading information (in -reply-to und references headers) gets inserted as well and thus the message gets threaded to that thread. Opposite to what some people who are new on the net believe the threading is *not* done by the subject but by the threading headers. The subject gets used only in case the threading headers are absent.
