If by, "the boss", you mean Benoît, then I don't think you were 
actually, "told off." It was probably more like he was merely honoring 
another list user's plea for the preservation of thread integrity.

To my knowledge, it is the "In reply to" field in the message header 
that keeps track of message threading. Whether or not the list 
management software takes into account the subject text, I do not know, 
but I doubt it. Your statement is likely entirely correct.
