Not trying to be insulting but that method is used a lot in other lists -- and not just by me. Must be some kind of extended header that is checked.
If the subject header is changed and the to header is changed what then is the difference? Outside of the off topic message why would anyone care? Its obviously a new thread with an effort at due diligence to make it a new thread.
Sorry I would view that as buggy software. If I or anyone takes a list message, clears out the subject, clears out the message and uses the same reply to address the lsitserv and/or client should view it as a new topic. I guarantee you that is how yahoo mail works as I ma on 6 or 7 different yahoo listserv groups.
Best of luck with this.

You hijacked the thread. What you did IS different from creating a new email,
you should create a new mail. There's nothing wrong with the listserv
software.
Your posting to a kde mailing list. In kde kmail is the default mail client,
and its threads show that you hijacked this thread.
have a nice day,
