No.

Threading has *nothing* to do with the subject header. Messages are
threaded according to relationships between Message-ID:, References:
and In-Reply-To: headers.

RFC2822 has chapter and verse on this: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822
See section 3.6.4.

The only way to thread correctly is to receive mailing list traffic as
individual messages *and* to have a mail client that includes proper
threading information in replies (ie: anything but M$-Outleak AFAICS).
